How-To Use the New Sous Vide Lock Plate

Watch our simple step-by-step tutorial in The Briner Jr

bring precision to every cook

How-To Sous Vide Cook in The Briner Jr?

Simply fill your Briner Jr with water, place your food, lock plate, and immersion cooking machine into the water, set it to the exact temperature of your need, and thats it. Sit back to watch your food cook perfectly every time without fail. We put together everything you need to Sous Vide inside one vessel. 


No vacuum sealer required! We recommend the water immersion method: slowly lower the bag into the water, allowing pressure to naturally push out the surrounding air. Once the air has been removed, seal the bag and you're ready to cook.



Let's break it down.. 1st fill your briner jr with water

1. Add your airtight sealed food of choice to The Briner Jr

2. Press lock plate down into vessel ensuring food is completely underneath the water surface.

3. Attach Immersion Circulator to the side of The Briner Jr


The lock plate fits immersion circulators up to three inches in diameter


That's it you're ready to go and brine like the pros!

oh, so simple..

What Do You Need to Sous Vide Cook in The Briner Jr?

 A Briner Jr and lock plate of course!

1. Water

2.  Food of your choice

3. Zipper lock bag, or any airtight sealed bag will work (We like to use freezer bags the best)

4. Immersion cooking machine


That's all you need to start cooking like the pros! 


No vacuum sealer needed. 

Why is The Lock Plate so Important?

The NEW lock plate allows for an immersion circulator to attach to the edge and sit inside The Briner Jr. All while keeping your food completely submerged under the water bath without any extra tools.


More usable space means you can cook more food with fewer accessories.


No extra mess = no extra stress.. or dishes!

Immersion Circulator General Instructions and Warnings

First, refer to your immersion circulator instruction manual for in detail instructions about use and safety 


Water Levels - Always ensure water level is between the MIN and MAX section lines on your immersion circulator unit before turning the unit on


CAUTION Heat Hazard - Always use proper protection such as oven mitts when handling cooking vessel and locking plates; Hot water and steam may cause burns


No Direct Food Contact - Food should never touch the sous vide machine or water bath directly. All food must be sealed in food safe bags


Use food-safe, heat-safe bags only - We find that gallon freezer safe bags work just fine!


Do Not Submerge Top of Immersion Circulator in Liquid - Avoid electrical shock - Do not immerse plug, cord, top, or upper body of the cooking device in the water or other liquids


Use with compatible immersion circulators only - Up to three inch diameters 


Only recommended for use inside The Briner Jr vessel with The Sous Vide Lock Plate


Keep away from children during use, cooking vessel may be heavy when full and warm to the touch


The Lock Plate will ensure food stays completely submerged underneath the water while cooking


Do not consume raw food - Use a thermometer after removing food from the water bath to ensure safety
