Sous Vide Virgin Cooks Corned Beef

I've been hearing about it but I finally got a sous vide. Inexpensive since I don't need all the bells and whistles such as pairing with my phone so I can operate it remotely which I don't understand since I have to be there to place the vacuum sealed meat in the container.

Here is my first attempt at using the sous vide in which I cook corned beef. I had a few minor rough patches which almost inevitably happens when you use a new piece of equipment. After a couple of tries I got the timer set right and I learned NOT to low tech vacuum seal the zip lock bag while bending over the container on the floor since it could cause back pain. In the future I will be performing that task standing upright at the sink. Also I will clip the top of the bag to the side of the container and weight the bag down with small weights such as coins so as to keep the bag under water instead of crudely weighting it down with a wrench and a screwdriver as I did in this video.

Oh, and despite repeatedly saying "lettuce" I used cabbage along with carrots and red potatoes to go with the corned beef.
