IKEA Stainless Steel Sous Vide Rack

Whilst this IKEA stainless steel rack is really designed for pot lid storage, it is also perfect for sous vide cooking. By placing your sealed food bags (known as food pouches) into this rack, water will be allowed to circulate freely in your water bath. This means that your food will cook evenly.

For this purpose this stainless steel rack holds your food pouches off the bottom of your sous vide water bath. It also separates your food pouches so water can flow around, under and above them evenly.

These racks can be used either upright or upside down to help keep your food pouche(s) submerged under the water. Sometimes you may want to remove some of the upright prongs. This will allow you to place bigger items between the prongs (eg large steaks).
