Sous vide is a French term and literally means 'under vacuum'. When something is vacuumed, there is no more air in it. Do you want to cook sous vide? Then it is your job to remove as much air as possible from the vacuum bag.
'Do I need to buy a vacuum sealer ?' No. This is not a requirement, but it is very useful. Airtight packaging can be done in various ways, although a vacuum sealer is the best solution.
What works better: ziplock or vacuum seal?
In principle, both work well. However, a vacuum sealer can remove more air than our trick method. Some other advantages of a vacuum sealer:
- Products stay fresh longer
- You can marinate your products within minutes
- Your products will last longer if you freeze them
So it is useful to buy a vacuum machine , but for sous vide cooking you basically only need the resealable sous vide bags .

Hi M. Moolhuizen,
Nee, de Souvy sous vide zakken geven geen ongezonde reactie. De reden hiervoor is dat het plastic wat gebruikt wordt een FDA goedgekeurd materiaal is. Pas wel op, niet alle sous vide zakken (van andere aanbieders bijvoorbeeld) zijn van dergelijk kwalitatief en vooral veilig materiaal gemaakt.
