I've always found Sous Vide cooking to be interesting, and want to try it myself.
One of the mega-cookbooks I own has instructions on doing so, and mentions that you can evacuate the air from a ziplock bag, if it's foodsafe when heated.
I have never seen a box of ziplock bags in Australia that specifically mentions that they're safe when heated. I'm also a poor student, so don't have cash floating around for a vacuum machine.
Any suggestions? Am I missing out if I can't cook Sous Vide, and if not, cheap emulation methods?
