Sous-vide bag advice

I've yet to purchase a chamber sealer. Want to sous-vide some hanger tonight w/ a flash sear on the egg for the finish. I've tried to push air out of a ziplock for the pouch. But it never seems as good as it could be. Any of you have a good trick or suggestion you can send my way?

    Water displacement method works when without a sealer. I wouldn’t fret, and enjoy the cook! Get as close as you can sealing and cook on!

  • It's fine. After the water displacement method, just weight your steak down with a large kitchen tool or heatsafe dish. No need to have a chamber sealer at all for a steak. Egg on!
