I have two sandwich size silicone bags bought from Anova as well but they are so small I still have to use ziplock bags as I mainly cook meats with bone with my Anova. I think they have came out with something bigger now, I am going to buy one soon.

Reason I bought them is because silicone doesn’t release harmful substances even if you boil it at 100 degree Celsius (I could be wrong) as I am a bit skeptical with how people claim that normal plastic bags don’t release harmful substances after it has been heated.

Yeah for meats with bone those silicone bags aren’t really useful, in that case I’d use the normal vaccum seal bags.

But with Sous vide I rarely use anything above 55C so I’m not too concerned

Stay away from this Codlo device because it sucks.

My friend recommended me this one when he bought it as it’s made by our own Malaysian and thank god I didn’t buy it at the time as I don’t have time to do so at the moment.

After only a few months usage, the start button stops working and my friend raise the issue to the company and they send him a replacement unit and the replacement unit’s screen stops working after 2 weeks usage. He got so fed up he doesn’t even bother to talk to the company anymore.

I got an Anova instead of Codlo after that because of the price.

He got an Anova after my recommendation but now he is using a China brand sous vide device as it’s cheaper and unlike Anova that doesn’t cut off the power after the time’s up, the China brand one does. It’s only 200 ringgit plus if I remember correctly.

PM me the contact please.

I don't use vacuum sealer though, all I use is ziplock bag + water displacement method to get the air out.

I think that any vacuum sealer from taobao.com would work. If they didn't require special bags to seal them, I'd have definitely bought a vacuum sealer. If I am not mistaken, the bags cost even more than ziplock bags and that is why I didn't buy a vacuum sealer at the end.

Rubbermaid and Cambro contact sent.

I've been using ziplock freezer bags, but now searching for a vacuum sealer so I can use sous vide bags for longer cooks (>24hrs). Don't want the ziplock bag to fail midway. tongue.gif

Done some research on vacuum bags too. Apparently there's a hack you can do to use the cheaper vacuum chamber bags (no ribs, which are needed for suction vacuum devices): either fold the sides in or use a strip of the ribbed bag. Search YouTube and you can find some videos on how to do this.

Anyone use Sous Vide Supreme VS3000 They are compatible with 240v, so don't have to get a transformer, just need a US plug adaptor.

I got my Anova from their SG office. No tax incurred. smile.gif
