The Container That Makes Sous Vide Actually Practical
After years of using stockpots and covering them with plastic wrap (we've all been there), a dedicated sous vide container is a game-changer. The Greater Goods 12-quart (11.4 liter) setup isn't just a plastic box — it's a thoughtfully designed system that solves the real annoyances of long-duration cooking and fermentation projects.
What's in the Complete Kit
- 12-quart/11.4-liter polycarbonate container — clear sides for monitoring, NSF-approved for food safety
- Custom-fit lid with cutout — eliminates water evaporation during 48-hour cooks
- Neoprene insulation sleeve — maintains temperature efficiently, saves energy
- Stainless steel rack — keeps bags submerged and organized, no more floating food
- Universal compatibility — works with Anova, Joule, and most immersion circulators
Why This Beats Your Stockpot
The insulated sleeve is the unsung hero here — it reduces heat loss significantly, meaning your circulator works less and uses less energy during those marathon tempeh incubations or 24-hour short ribs. The rack system keeps multiple bags separated for even circulation, crucial when you're batch-cooking proteins or maintaining different fermentation vessels at precise temps. At 12 quarts (11.4L), it handles family-sized portions but stores vertically without dominating your cabinet space.
🔲 Essential for serious sous vide users who've graduated from the "pot-on-the-counter" phase and want professional results with minimal babysitting.
