Revolutionize Sous Vide Cooking with AppleKoreLiving Sous Vide Reusable Silicone Bags | Extra Large & Large BPA Free Set | Thinner and More Flexible than Other Reusable Vacuum Seal Bags

First things first, you gotta wash and rinse these out and let them air out. They need to offgas/air out for at least two days but after that there's hardly any smell to them and having cooked in them they definitely don't impart anything into your food. I cooked chicken in them, it came out perfectly. However it's pretty much impossible to keep a good shape to your chicken breast if that's what you're using. Because they don't vacuum seal the chicken isn't secured and just kinda squishes into the bottom. So i ended up w/ this big stuck together multi chicken breast glob at the end lol. But it separated easily and I sliced it up and was able to brown/sear the pieces that way which worked fine. They are also really easy to clean and turn inside out etc.

Perfect for sous vide. We love cooking all of our meats sous vide but not thrilled about the continued plastic contamination, especially for long duration high heat methods. These bags work perfectly!Unlike vacuum sealing, there is no need to get all of the air out. Use a couple of magnets, drape the top over the edge of your container, and it works perfectly!The only downside, you have to clean the bags once finished. But they give you a loop you can attach upside down to any hook. Just be sure you put something to hold it open or it won’t dry all the way.

They worked for a while, not long lasting .

I bought two of the extra large and have used them a few times. They do the job. They are flexible enough to fit reasonably close around the food once immersed. It's certainly not a vacuum seal but it has worked fine. Depending on what you are cooking you may get some juices collecting in the bag that will fill the small gaps in certain areas, that will help bring the heat all around. I like that they are reusable, although they do take a little effort to clean thoroughly. I hang them to thoroughly air dry after wiping them with a towel. I'll be ordering some smaller ones as these are much taller than my Sous Vide container and the excess just flops and makes them harder to handle. I love the large size at the bottom where the food goes, but they would work better for me if they were a little shorter.

I am so pleased at having a sous vide accessory that allows me to minimize my consumption of plastics (vacuum sealing process). They wash well, they do not retain smells, and I have never had any sort of incident with them, highly recommend!

First, be sure to read the card that comes with the product. It says that the bags should be boiled in water (I think for 30 minutes, but can’t really remember now) before first use. When I got these sous vide bags, they did have a pretty strong smell. After boiling them, the smell was mild. After one use, it’s completely gone. Second, the bags do not seal at the top. You lower the bag into the hot water using the water displacement method. Once the meat, fish, veggies, etc. is submerged in the water (very important), you just lay the open end over the side of the pot. If the bag floats, you might need to re-submerge it to get more air out. You can use a large clip to clip the bag to the side of pot to hold it in position. You can also put something heavy right in the bag with your food, or on top of it to keep it submerged. Third, you put the bag in the water after it reaches the correct temperature. It probably doesn’t matter so much with meats that cook for a long time, but with fish or veggies, it might make a difference. Fourth, cleaning the bags isn’t too hard. Hot soapy water, rinsed and dried on a big bottle of soda worked for me. Fifth, if you’re cooking something for a very long time, be sure to cover the pot to reduce evaporation. You can buy a bag of ping pong balls, or I use a piece of tinfoil that I use over and over. I really love these bags!

Broke the first time using them
