    “Sous vide” doesn’t mean “enclosed in plastic;” it means “under vacuum.” It doesn’t fucking work if there’s air between the food and the container!

        I mean, yes, but usually people would use a ziploc bag and straw instead of a condom.

        Another strategy that works without a vacuum pump is to submerge all but the opening of the bag in the water, so that the water pressure forces most of the air out, before sealing it.
