Clip magnets!

[DJ DeSpain]

Still new to sous vide, and my primary problem was submersion, particularly with salmon. I found what worked for me tonight were clip magnets! Tonight I did a boneless ribeye for me, and a salmon filet for my always better half. No more submersion problem!

Sooooo how did the magnets taste?

[DJ DeSpain]

Outside the bag.

That's a really good idea - I use the lid from a small cast iron pot to do the same thing but your idea is much better. Thanks!

[DJ DeSpain]

Welcome!

DJ DeSpain - I have smoked pastrami under a lid in a bag reheating right now. Going to be making sandwiches later with it and with I didn't have that lid on it. I have to use heavy tongs to get it out. Like your way much better.

When vacuum bagging just put a couple glass marbles in the bag with things that tend to float.

Or butter knives or spoons to weigh it down. Anything heavy, non reactive and not pointy.

[DJ DeSpain]

Silverware in bags do weigh down, but I want peace of mine knowing the outflow is clear.

Marbles in the bag will work with ziplocks just fine. Marbles will have no impact on the food and are certainly reusable.
Either way - marbles or magnets works fine.

Ah! Great idea.
