Nothing ruins a meal quicker than serving hot food on a cold plate.
Some people cook Sous Vide in an open container without a lid, but if you have a bath with a cover like I do you can stack dinner plates on top of the cover while your dish is cooking and you’ll have nice warm plates to serve your meal on.
Awesome Idea!
I like your idea. I was “introduced” to hot plates over the weekend and it’s definitely a nice added touch to any meal.
I use the standing water in the bath to thaw previously frozen vacuum sealed pouches all the time.
I thought everyone did it.
I re-use the water in the water bath for as long as is practical. For me I add a couple of Milton Baby
Antibacterial Tablets to the water bath after every other use. Here in Australia Milton Tables are used
to sterilise baby bottles. Seems appropriate.
One thing.
When reusing Sous Vide bath water, I have employed a fine meshed fish net to “fish” out any offending
floating bits.
As a side note. As part of this purchase the look on the pet shop owner when I explained my intention to use his
net for Sous Vide instead of guppies was…“Sue Who?”. Precious.
