I have an 18 Quart Rubbermaid Food Storage Container. It fits 5 approximately 2 - 2.5 lb lamb shanks. The device is a Joule sous vide.

 

Can I sous vide all 5 lamb shanks together?

 

 

Bagged individually? As long as there’s room for the water to circulate freely you should be good. It would be a good idea to start with hot-ish water, and cover it with plastic wrap, foil, insulation, anything to help reduce evaporation/heat loss.
 

Here’s some info I had saved from the Chefsteps Joule site. “In a well-insulated, covered container, Joule can heat up to 10 gallons (40 liters) of water. In a covered pot, it can heat about 5 gallons (20 liters). When you're cooking without a cover, we generally recommend limiting water volume to about 2.5 gallons (10 liters).”
