<![CDATA[Sous vide container + sous vide recommendations]]>What are you all using for a container for finishing your snack sticks/summer sausage with sous vide. Im looking at getting one in the next few weeks and trying to figure what container Im gonna use when I dump in 25 lbs of snack sticks + water.

Im mainly gonna be finishing snack sticks/summer sausage in 25lb or less batches. So Im thinking I’ll probably be trying to heat 3-7gallons of water? Any suggestion which unit/size I will want?

That is about $30 cheaper than what I paid online. The heating element comes apart easily for cleaning, twist the stainless tube and it pulls off. The only thing with this unit I would point out is the impeller is plastic. So far it has not been a problem, as long as you are careful when taking the housing off for cleaning. I do my summer sausage and sticks directly in the water without placing in bags and have not had issues. It has been really good for cooking meals. I really don’t use the wifi for sausages, but have for meals.

I have one of the early anovas and just use a plastic food container with a piece of wood to hold the sous vide. That’s smart of them to provide a container that fits their unit.

I’ve been contemplating getting a sous vide cooker for sometime now. Just saw this deal at the local Costco today. Seems like a pretty good deal for $160 with the container and all. I’ve seen several people post on the ANOVA and was curious some of your opinions about this set up.

Its the Anova Sous Vide and container for 199. I have had it a few weeks and really like it. I have only done 6 lb batches so far, but believe 10 would be fine.20210213_201546.jpg

One is a all in one unit that holds the water and has the heating element and recirculation pump build in. These are for more of a restaurant application and are very spendy. The other is just the heater and pump in one unit and can be mounted on any type of vessel that suits your need. they may very in size and shape but all do the same thing.

Just did A 3 pound pork loin at 140 degrees for 5 hours. Melts in your mouth tender more than just finishing sausage.

Run my sausage naked, no bag, no problems. Elcheapo 1k unit from amazon

I believe there is a kind that draws water in heats it and propels it back out. And the other style is a exposed propeller and separate heating element to heat the water? The later was desired so a person didnt have to vac seal the meat.
Is there a way to determine which style any given unit is? I’ve done a little shopping here and there and it looks like I’d like to get a unit around 1000watt level.

For reference it holds a 24 pack of beer cans standing up. Lots of room to lie snack sticks with minimal water. It holds heat really well.

Got to say, the elcheapo unit works great. I use mine a couple times a week for non sausage items also. I use a 40qt non insulated rubbermaid tote. It works, but there are better options like a beverage cooler. I will be working on that soon myself.
I will never go back to smokehouse only thermal processing sausage again. I can make great products and still go to bed at a decent hour!

They come in lots of sizes and work well because of the insulation. I start with hot tap water and add hot water from the stove. This saves time and your heater dosen’t have to work so hard and long to get up to temp. Then I cover it with a large sheet pan and towel for extra insulation.

It does take a bit to get that much water going though so you’ll want to add hot water, either from the pot or the stove depending on how much time you have for the water to come up to temp.

I use a meat lug but put 12-12.5 pounds of sticks in at a time. Takes about 8 minutes.

I usually do 8-10 pounds of sausage or sticks works great.
