Is sous-vide the next air fryer?

I love sous vide but have to admit I do it a lot less since realizing I was cooking all my food in hot plastic. Would love to better understand the latest research on this. I stopped using my beloved water oven and started using my oven oven again.

My understanding was that silicone is non-toxic and resistant to high temperatures, hence it's use in cooking utensils, medical implants, sex toys, etc.

But it's hard to know what's true these days.

my understanding is that silicone has pretty much all the same problems

Is there a reason why we couldn't use some kind of reusable silicone bag?

i wonder if a convection oven (or "air fryer") + foil might work nearly as well

I wonder if it's possible to use a suet-saturated cloth instead of hot plastic. probably has a dramatically shorter window, though.

i was on such a sous vide kick a few years ago too. haven't had juicy, plastic marinated meats in a while  :(

would love to see a better alternative!

Always wondered about that
No plastics pass for sous vide

i recently found out that this way, several grams of plastic end up in the brain over a lifetime, and there's no way to remove the plastic from the head afterward 😬
