Ditch plastic bags and the workarounds that come with most silicone alternatives. The Starter Bundle includes two ultra-thin platinum-grade silicone pouches and a rechargeable vacuum pump.

Unlike typical silicone bags built for storage, Silivac pouches are engineered for sous vide. They vacuum seal and stay fully submerged, so your food cooks evenly without magnets, weights, or tricks.

How It Works

1. Add Your Food

Place food inside the bag, leaving a little space at the top.

2. Close the top seal

Seal the top closure only (leave the lower seal open for now).

3. Remove the air

Insert the pump needle into the side valve and turn the pump on.

4. Close the Bottom Seal

Once the air is removed, turn off the pump and close the lower seal.

5. You’re ready to cook

Remove the pump and place the bag into the water bath to sous vide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Silivac safe at high temperatures?

Yes. Silivac is independently tested by SGS laboratories to withstand the long cooking times and temperatures required for sous vide. The platinum-cured silicone remains stable under heat and is safe for use from -40°F to 450°F.

Can I use Silivac to vacuum seal and store food at room temperature?

Silivac is designed for use in a water bath or freezer, not for vacuum storage at room temperature. Silicone is naturally air-permeable, which means small amounts of air can pass through the material over time. As a result, the vacuum seal will gradually loosen if stored at room temperature.

What’s in the Starter Bundle?

Two patterned silicone bags (quart size) and one rechargeable vacuum pump. Everything you need to start cooking.

Is it complicated to seal?

It takes about 30 seconds once you’ve done it once. Close the top seal, turn on the pump to remove air, and then close the bottom seal. We include a quick-start guide with every bundle.
