Have there been any studies to see if Sous vide cooking puts plastic in your food?

>>21440334 (OP)
Not sure if there are any directly about sous vide but there are many that examine the effect different temperatures have on the integrity of a variety of plastics, including those used in sous vide bags. In general it looks like the temperatures typically used for sous vide don't cause the plastics to break down in a significant amount. You're still getting contact contamination but you also get that from the plastic container the food came in before cooking.

They claim the plastic bags are safe but I don't trust it. There's no way when you heat up a plastic bag it doesn't leak some shit.

According to grant-chasing scientismists everything puts microplastic in everything else. Plastics spall off the analytic equipment used to test for microplastics. It's like a team of cokeheads testing things for cocaine residue: just another retarded health-themed moral panic.

>caring about tiny bits of inert plastic in food

My God, we need another war so people can recalibrate what is actually important in life. People here (including myself) have too much free time and nothing to worry about. Things are too good when you are worrying about such infinitesimal small shit.

dudes right, sneed oil is the real issue

Not sure.... But I personally do my sous vide in glass jars. However I highly recommend you preheat the jars/brot) for twenty minutes.

Canola is literally engineered/tweaked to be the best and healthiest cooking oil.

This and butter for some specific baking is all you need in the kitchen and you really don't NEED butter if you don't want to have it.

Isn't there too much space between the food and the inner wall of the glass jar? Say you wanted to do chicken breast. Naturally it won't be jar shaped, so it'll have air gaps. These air gaps will be heated by the surrounding air. At that point, aren't you just baking the chicken? An air fryer with extra steps? I thought sous vide meant the food was in contact with the bag which is on contact with the heated water. The heat transference is better because of the close contact. Or am I thinking about this wrong?

you've already got microplastics in your balls and you're worrying about a bit more from a ziploc bag?

>noooo stop worrying about things being put into your body and then hidden for decades goy

>>21441981
I put some broth in the jar to fill in any gaps. (Not too much or you have a eureka moment)

>>21441981
And since you showed some interest, I'll reinforce the secret. You want the water bath outside the jar to get high enough to reach the top 1/4 of the rim of the jar. You want to size your jar so it doesn't take a bunch of broth to fill it up. Preheat the jar over the desired temperature, it takes an extra twenty minutes. Glass is fairly insulating, surprisingly enough. Watch out for contamination as you put the chicken in.

I love you anon, this sounds fun. Thank you.

I’d your under then age of 80 on this site it’s reasonable to assume you’ve been exposed to plastic and microplastics your entire life and no sense worrying about it now because it’s literally everywhere and you probably have at least a Lego guy inside you, maybe a funko pop.

>>21440334 (OP)
yes, and it doesn't.

>gladly cooks in metal pans

yes. there’s been a study of takeout containers that shows warm food sitting in plastic absorbs plastic quickly. they measured food to go vs sit down at a restaurant. the same food. they both have plastic, but sitting warm in a togo. container had way more plastic

what is the melting point of iron you dumb fucking nigger

I type into Google like this every time I have a question

>>21441904
Yeah surely a war that kills off the intelligent and physically capable males while leaving the mentally impaired and frail beta males and women will improve things.

>>21442303
It will improve things for the US's geopolitical adversaries, same as most things that the new right is pushing hard for
