Cellar Made Sous Vide Lid for ChefSteps Joule fits 12, 18 & 22 Quart Rubbermaid Containers Made in USA

This lid is not transparent. If you want to see your meal, you have to remove it or look through the sides. But I knew that going in, so I don't see it as a downside.What it does do is fit perfectly, both to the Rubbermaid container and the Joule sous vide cooker. It holds the heat in, prevents evaporation, and keeps other kitchen activities from getting junk in your water bath (and your cooker).If you're using a Joule and the Rubbermaid container, this works perfectly with the LIPAVI Sous Vide rack model L10.

This lid is made specifically for the Joule. It fits the Rubbermaid container perfectly, and the Joule sous vide. It was easy to add food when temp reached, and eliminates the worry of evaporation during cooking. Definitely 5 stars.I very much like the way the lid can be slipped on and off. Makes adding food, and clipping much easier.

1, Your Joule DOES NOT NEED TO EXTEND TO THE BOTTOM, you all realize that the pump will bring the water up from those 1" of space right? If you wanted to clip it to the very top of the clip then the gap would be too big.2. The lid limits evaporation and heat loss for the most part. It's not there to keep your food clean. Wrap a bath towel around your Rubbermaid container (or get a neoprene glove) and one over the top and you'll keep more of the heat in and reduce energy costs (and coil wear). I use old towels, so no extra costs like buying those silicon floating balls.---So, the lid is well made and fits well. I have no issues with it.

Bought this a few weeks ago and have used it a few times. It is a well thought out design. It needs to do two things: first, it needs to provide a seal around the Joule device and the Rubbermaid container, but second, it also needs to give access to the interior to insert and remove food, and it does the latter by providing tabs on the lid opposite the Joule device which make it easy to raise the lid and then reclose it. It also is easy to reseal and keeps the seal when a ziplock bag is draped over the side. All in all, an effective and easy to use product.

At first I thought it was great! Out of the box, it fit nice and tight, which kept all of the moisture inside. I went to use it two days later and wow... it warped and shrunk something fierce. I can get two corners on now and that's it. One cook and it's worthless... I wouldn't avoid this, I'd run from it. Total waste of my money.

I bought this lid, and I also bought a 2-pack of "plain" lids for $8.99. The lid with a hole cut in it is nice, but I didn't realize how flexible the lids are and how easy it would have been for me to just cut a hole in one of the 2 lids I bought. I'm not going to return it as it works just fine, but I would recommend making one yourself if you are even slightly handy.

I purchased this lid a while ago and just had an opportunity to use it. It's great! Fits perfectly on the food storage container with the Joule allowing the Joule to work. Did not appear that I had any loss of water in the container, even though I ran the sous vide for 15 hours. Really glad I purchased this.

Sous-Vide cookers are very clean. Even in the wild event you spill something, it is plain water. These lids fit the containers well, just as described. However, they are not sturdy (very flexible - a lot more than expected) and in my opinion do not impact the cooking process. I would not recommend these lids.

Almost zero evaporation of the water over a 20 hour cooking period - didn't have to top it up once! Fits snugly with the Joule. Highly recommended for anyone planning to use their sous vide over a longer period of time.

Fits the container well, however the hole for the immersion circulator is slightly off if you fully clip it onto the side of the container. Overall it does a great job at holding in the heat and making the cooking more efficient. I recommend the product maybe with a few little adjustments to the way you use it

This lid is perfect in combination with the container I bought. Sous vide cooking is an amazing process and the meat is perfect every time! This lid holds the appliance (cooking thermometer) in place and I will definitely recommend this to friends and family who enjoy the sous vide technique!

Worked perfectly

Lid have no hall for to install a Sous Vide to the box. I have to do this my self.
