Q: I don't use a Zip bag at the moment, is it possible to do this recipe using the normal vacuum bag? A: Yes, you can, but you have to be very, very careful not to suck liquid up into the pump. It helps to have a friend assist you.
SousVide Supreme responds: Yes you can do it, but you have to be very very careful not to suck liquid up into the pump of the machine. That's why we don't recommend trying to seal liquids using a clamshell suction vacuum sealer. The Zip Pouches are available in Europe and certainly through our website online. That's by far the easiest way. If you wish to try it with a vacuum sealer, you can, but you have to be very quick to manually seal the pouch before liquid sucks into the machine and damages the pump. It's also easier if you have someone:
- Fill the pouch with the ingredients.
- Elevate the vacuum sealer higher than the counter by about 5 or 6 inches (12 to 15 cm or so) — put it onto an upside down saucepan or pot or box. Make sure it is secure and stable. This elevation makes gravity work for you and makes it a bit harder for the liquid to climb.
- Carefully guide the open top of the pouch (without spilling) into the sealer and position the open edges properly in the vacuum channel, being careful not to cover the suction portal.
- Close and lock the lid securely (with one hand at a time, still holding the pouch, unless you have help to close it for you while you hold the pouch) and then once locked in place on both sides, raise the vacuum sealer straight up, letting the filled pouch hang down below it and hit the Vacuum Seal button. Watch carefully as the air evacuates and quickly hit the Seal button as soon as the pouch just begins to collapse around the food, but before the liquid gets sucked up into the chamber.
- Let the pouch seal and then carefully lay it all down on the counter. Hit the seal button once more to be sure the seal is secure.
- Open the lid and inspect the seal to be sure it is a good seal all the way across.
