However, you shouldn’t use a single Ziploc bag when cooking in water temperatures above 158°F because the heat can cause the bag to open at the seams and expose your food to the water.
Double-bagging with two Ziploc bags will avoid this, or using FoodSaver bags.
If you don’t want to pay for a vacuum sealing system, you can also use sturdy resealable freezer bags, like Ziploc ones made with low-density polyethylene.
