Safe sous vide

[Anonymous No.18770502]

What are some healthy ways to sous vide foods
I have a sous vide machine which I mostly use for either defrosting meats at low temperatures or making yogurt in glass jars but I want to use it to make meals, as it is a very convenient piece of equipment.
I have an idea of putting meat with marinade or stock+herbs into a glass container or something vacuum sealed in a way where the plastic bag does not contact the food.
Thoughts? Does anon have any plastic free sous vide recipes, is plastic even that bad?

I want to be able to 'set and forget' so that I can do other things and be more productive while I cook.
I usually enjoy cooking but standing at the stove gets boring sometimes.

I did specify plastic free methods anon.
Can you sous vide is a container that is filled with liquid,as far as I know it's just low temperature poaching

You can buy reusable sous vide bags made of silicone if you want to be extra safe

The rest of this thread will be full of retards telling you not to "boil" your food in plastic bags. Enjoy.

Probably, but the point of sous vide is that there isn't any water in with the meat. If it were marinade, I suppose it wouldn't be too bad, especially with chicken

I thought the point was the temperature control, and that the most convenient method to achieve that was in a vacuum bag in a water bath.

silicone is better than plastic, but not as good as glass

[Anonymous No.18770550]

>>18770536
Well yeah, temperature control is the point, but you said it yourself. The meat is vacuum sealed

You can use anything for sous vide but your problem will be surface area. I had a colleague make cheesecake in mini mason jars that seemed to work well, but the jars were entirely full

all plastics degrade differently in different environments. saying "it still degrades" is a meaningless statement because everything degrades via entropy. For degradation to be properly considered you need to compare the material properties to the use conditions.

Silicone is incredibly non-reactive, so much so that it doesn't stick to anything except itself (non-silicone glues are worthless with silicone). It's used for permanent medical implants per ISO 10993 and high temperature applications from baking to rockets.

>>18770594
No. It's non-reactive up to 260C (500F) and is commonly used for complex geometry baking molds.

>>18770634
You. Plastics are a fucking huge category with a massive range of properties so to call plastics "similar" in any non-specific way is full retard. but please, respond with more buzzwurds since you're incapable of putting in effort.

The advantage of the sous vide is temperature control, but if that doesn't matter you might as well just use a slow cooker.

>silicone is plastic
Depends what you mean, main difference is silicone is silicate based rather than carbon, and far more stable for cooking use. Also pure silicone doesn't have BPA or hormone mimicking traits afaik, no reaction because it's inert, no fumes. The advantage is food grade silicone can withstand high heat without degrading up to the point of combustion which is like 400-500 degrees+ and probably would need to be exposed to a direct flame. You might as well be scared of using a cast iron because the patina is polymerized oil, or be afraid of using cooking oil in general as it also breaks down if you're so scared of "degradation". Please adopt critical thinking.

no and at combustion temperature it decomposes into co2 and literal sand

Like no fillers? It's not like every company is trustworthy. But that would be on the consumer to figure out. Silicone could be considered a "plastic" by loose definition (or more like rubber), but it has none of the properties that makes plastic so toxic which you're afraid of. It isn't too far off from glass compositionally speaking, which I assume you've eaten or drank out of before.

[Anonymous No.18770881]

Silicone is plastic by any correct definitio definition
I also havent mentioned being afraid of anything

???

My post clearly treats it as a plastic and I state nothing to the opposite. Do you have brain damage?

Also, whether it's classified as a plastic or not has nothing to do with food safety. Food safety is material specific, not massive category specific. Do you have a learning disability that prevents you from understanding this basic concept?

Or is your trolling that bad? I_was_only_pretending_to_be_retarted.jpg

With everything we know about microplastic shedding and how prolonged contact between plastic and food is incredibly unhealthy in a way that isn't even detectable to us on an instinctual level, it's hilarious that one of the biggest cooking memes since like 2008 is boiling food in an airtight plastic condom.

Like this is "Roman aqueducts for bathing and drinking are lined are lead" levels of retardation. The only thing actually literally worse is plastic bottles for water/soda/juice.
>>18770514
>>18770756
Listen to the slow cooker anon. Or get an instant pot/pressure cooker. Roasts, pork chops, chicken, plus it has steaming options for vegetables, levels for rice or risotto. Sous vide is such a specifically bourgeois way of cooking. The best use for it is actually Arctic/Antarctic expeditions for temperature control, so anybody living anywhere but the north or south pole utilizing sous vide is just retarded or pretentious.

There are microplastics and absolutely everything we touch we drink we eat we breathe they're in the deepest parts of the ocean and on the top of peaks of mountains. We are all full of microplastics even if we hadn't cooked or stored food in any sort of plastic for our entire lives. Get over yourself.

Any meat you buy is already stored in plastic containers or vaccum sealed plastic bags. The meat at the meat counter comes into the store in plastic bags. Unless you buy directly from a butcher, your meat is stored in plastic anyway.

therefore you should boil your meat in plastic? retard. also good stores wrap meat and fish in butcher's paper. zoom zoom.

The meat does not come into the store in butcher's paper, it's transported to the store in plastic bags.
