Do you have any special sous vide equipment or recommendations? It seems like you can go all in but basically need a new setup for it. I don't feel like buying a ton of new stuff but I'm also curious about it
The first piece of tech for doing sous vide was a piece of lab equipment used in chemistry.
Its a technique of making stuff work and can be done with a thermometer and a pot of water.
I would say definitely get a vacuum sealer, you can do the cold water and ziploc trick but it will never really truly work and I had to use a wet towel to keep the food submerged when I was doing it. But that means you can still if you are ok with weighting the bag.
I buy a bulk box of the premade bags from a restaurant supply store cause they are cheap and then I can individually seal meat when I buy it and freeze them, makes portioning and doing a quick sous vide faster too.
Then if you want to be cheap you can get a used immersion cooker, it doesnt touch food, just water usually. I usually use a pot on some cork board wrapped in a towel. Some chefs really like using a cooler cause it is insulated.
ANOVA is a good brand just get controls on the device cause it is just easier and faster.
