New cooking methods ... sous vide
So I took the plunge (pun not intended) and purchased a personal sous vide machine.

I've made a wonderful roasted garlic and herb compound butter and I'm about to put a couple of thick cut KC strips in the bath, set it for 134 degrees and in a couple hours I should have perfectly medium rare steak to throw in a screaming hot skillet to sear. Then it's eatin' time.

Will post pics.

Anyone worked with sous vide before? Any tips, tasty things to try?

I have a lid, it was like $2. Just cut a hole for the Anova. I avoid using it as much as possible due to the reported concerns over steam concentration and the Anova flaking out.

The sealer I linked in the other thread is by far the best sealer I've used. It pulls a tighter vacuum and since the sealer bar is slightly larger, it provides a better seal. Also, it has a pulse, which I really, really like - means you don't have to push it to full vacuum, which can sometimes squish food too much.

I've never had a issue with a tight vaccum on the V222, it pulls hard enough it deforms things. And if I want to be gentle I just hit the seal button before it's finished. Saves me $115

One of the issues I've had with all three of the FSes I've had (including the most recent FS that was one of the top end models) is the seal holding. A lot (maybe 1/4?) lose the seal in the freezer after a couple months. Hasn't been a problem with the new one. I attribute that at least partly to a wider seal.

Fishtank, large grate, saran wrap and a towel.

I just put that grate on top, throw saran wrap over it for moisture and a towel for heat retention. Works great and I'm inclined to believe the thick glass sides do a better job retaining heat than the lexan does, though I could be way off there.

My sealer is okay; nothing amazing. It is the model from about 4 years ago; the tall one with the small footprint and the extendable cord that you use for the marinade jar and stuff.

The biggest problem I've had with it was when I was trying to get lobster tails ready for a tailgate the next morning and the 'drip tray full' light wouldn't shut off so the thing wouldn't run. I took it apart, found the relay for the drip tray sensor and just bypassed it. Now it doesn't have a drip tray sensor but I don't suppose I really care that much. I just check it every now and then.

I'm pretty positive that the 'moist' setting for wet foods doesn't actually do anything and I don't think it pulls quite as hard as my last one did, but it does the job.

I hope you take the fish out.

Unless you're planning poached guppy.

you use generic bags? I've had issues with them, but not to speak of with FS bags. I do often double seal bags I know will be very long term storage.

Used to, but it happened even with the brand bags. I resorted to double sealing, which pisses me off on principle, but even that didn't always work.

So that's why they keep dying?

The guy told me they were tropical fish, dammit. Surely a little heat shouldn't kill them...
