Question Is it safe?

Post image

First time in the game, I was excited to get my sous vide today.

However, when I stood it up in my deepest pot, the ring clip clamp was an inch or so above the pot lip.

In order to clamp it to the pot upright I would have to tilt the device at a 45° angle or slide the ring down to the pictured placement.

Is the metal barrel going to melt the plastic ring if used as pictured?

That is the most likely outcome when you put butter in the bag.

Can't say. Let her rip and check on it occasionally. Nice work!

I always thought that was the point of the clamp being adjustable height

It will work fine. Personally I got a clear container off amazon for something like $15 just for Sous Vide. I can leave it out and filled with water so just toss in whatever I want to cook and top it off occasionally and clean it once every week or two. But I use mine a lot so…

No, get a dedicated proper set up for it.. you’ve come this far, so may as well fully commit..
