looks good  as the idea is that it Works !

 

soon you will get bigger and bigger coolers !

 

just saying 

 

I don't SV in bulk - just one meal at a time for 4 adults and a pre-schooler. Goes back to my initial interest in SV, moist chicken breasts and pork chops for my DW who has issues with any protein that hints at being dry as a result of her bariatric surgery. I have been pleased with chicken breasts done at 147 for twice the time that Baldwin's charts list for a given thickness. When I tried lower temperatures she didn't care for the texture and couldn't convince herself that it was safe to eat.

 

I will be using a 28 qt cooler when I try 12ish pounds of corned beef in about 3 months, but for that cooler I have some thick styrofoam that I will fashion a lid out of.

 

I also have to be mindful of how much water weight I deal with if I have to move a filled vessel. Mostly I have to bail out a lot of the water before I can finish emptying it. Darned disintegrating spine ...
