Mr. Boomer has a book Sous Vide for Everybody: The Easy Foolproof Cooking Method That’s Sweeping the World — published by America’s Test Kitchen. . .

In the introduction, it says you can use high quality freezer bags that do not contain BPA and mentions Ziploc by name.

Later in the book, there is a short section (a page and a half) titled “Plastic Safety and Sous Vide.”

(When Mr. Boomer started into this, the safety of hot plastic was one of my first questions, too.)

ATK says that you don’t need a vacuum sealer.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about sous vide. It clearly covers any questions — and has easy recipes and gorgeous pictures.

ATK’s Sous Vide for Everybody works as an introduction, a reference, and an inspiration — all in one place.

PS: Of course, we use the internet for cooking info, too. In fact, I just ran across an article about cooking in an RV with sous vide. We are not RVers, but I found the RV sous vide idea interesting. Not a lot of space is needed because you do not need a vacuum sealer.
