Doing seafood there's tons of pointy bits so I wound up double bagging since the first bag had a tiny hole in it. Silly me that meant a little air is in the first bag. I present, air fryer grade, shoe string, sushi roller 😂 maybe I'll purchase or 3d print something to better hold the bags down lol

Haha good idea! Yea I’m always messing around trying to hold the bags down. I have some magnets that work if the bag is the right size but sometimes it isn’t.
Seal off a bottom compartment of the bag full of quarters or other heavy item.
Has anyone tried what looks like Weighted chainmail or the magnets?
I may be in the minority but I feel certain things just shouldn’t be sous vide, like seafood. If you have info/recipes please educate me.
Try sous vide weights or magnets, they’re like less than $20 on Amazon.
Edit: Gonna state the obvious… you don’t need to buy weights, you just need something to weigh it down
I put plates or bowls in mine
I have a little chain mail net. It works great.
You could put a spoon in the bag.
Just use a plate. This is very easy and you’re making it very complicated.
Metal Steaming basket
A rock, i use a piece of quartz i brought from a hike
I use my meat tenderizer hammer to hold it down.
I just use stainless steel clothespins. Hook them on the bag and they will weigh it down.
I got those little glass stone at Michael’s and vacuum sealed them in a flat sheet the size of my cook tub. Keeps everything down nicely.

If it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid
I’ve seen people put metal butter knives in the bag or another bag as a weight. I just get a bowl of water or sometimes a bowl with a jar full of water.
I just pile butter knifes over it
Looks like it works, AND, it was free
“If it ain’t broken…”
Chef Press weights
Get a rock or a brick for your yard… vacuum wrap it and you’re done! Else do it with an old wrench…
I put silverware in the bags
Put the plate IN THE BAG.
The chainmail works well
Can we just acknowledge that this is very clever?
