If your friends ask what youre doing, just tell them that youre a French chef.
“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!
Suck out the air before tying the knot. Got it!
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.
I love traditional French vacuum sealed plastic techniques.
