Sooo... What do you do with the water bath after a SV cook?

[GolfGeezer]

I fill my wife's outside water bucket she uses for watering her potted plants and orchids. If that fills it, as I also dump the water I use to make hard boiled eggs (both the water for steaming and the ice bath that cools the eggs) into that bucket. Any extra amount goes into the corners of the flower bed that the sprinklers don't hit very well (the Boss directs that placement ).

Down the drain here, but if the water looks clean I'll squirt some soap in there and wash out my SV pot - a 2 gallon stock pot.

Well... the water goes down the drain..

Why don't yall put your cast iron skillets in it and let them soak overnight? Seems these typical containers would be perfect for that. Why did it suddenly get so quiet in here?

We water plants with it.

Off the deck and onto the lawn it goes ...

On a hot summer day it almost evaporates before it hits the ground ... and in winter, it freezes.

I toss it into the base of the big front yard tree after it cools down.

I’ve been pouring it down the drain but that’s gonna change. Will start watering plants in the yard when it’s cool.

I ain't drinking anything that had hot plastic in it.
