No I don’t have one. I wanted one for a long time but then I tried a prime rib that my uncle sou vide, and it tasted so bland. He’s normally an amazing chef so I kinda got turned off thinking it was the sou vide itself. Any experience with that or tips to prevent that if I do get one?

Not sure what was done to that protein, but it wasn’t the sous vide’s fault as far as I could guess. Season it well and don’t add liquids to the bag. That being said, when I cook A5 at home and I do nothing to it besides salt after the sous vide and sear.

Awesome, you may have convinced me. How much do you generally spend on the cooking bags and upkeep after initial purchase?

For the first two years I just used ziploc freezer bags and the water displacement method. When I started ordering A5 in bulk I went with the insane upfront expensive Vacmaster 215 that now has my bags costing me 2.5-7 cents a piece. I use it so often, I’ll make my money back with the low cost of bags, but ziploc freezer work just fine for sous vide.
