The other day my phone screen broke and so I embarked on the task of replacing it myself.
I bought a kit and watched a how to video. In order to remove the screen, one needs to render the adhesive by heating it to 176-212F to make it more pliable. There are heating devices made for this purpose but I did not have one and felt like a heat gun would be too hard to control the temps and might result in an overcooked phone so I'm sure you all know where this is going.
I vacuum sealed my phone (no seasoning necessary) and dropped it in the SV. I set the temp to the max of 197 but got impatient and took it out at 180. The screen pried off with ease. I felt searing would be overkill so skipped that. 10/10 would SV my phone again.

Overcooked for my taste, but glad you didn’t put butter in the bag.
7/10 with rice. Do not suggest…
Hopefully the back of the phone isn’t also attached with adhesive.
That’s a cool trick!
137 IS THE SWEET SPOT AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL!!!
I mean seriously at 180 its going to be dry as a bone. You can see that from your photos – the interior is completely grey!
Use any liquids in the bag to make a sauce:
Add liquids to saucepan, throw in USB-C cable (you can add an extra one if you like it extra “network-y”) and a single screen protector film. Salt and pepper to taste! Yummmmm!!!
Hopefully it is as delicious as it looks!
