Those of you who are doing Sous Vide euros. Are your machines holding up? Issues with bits of floaties messing with the heating element or circulator?

I sacrificed my sous vide machine yesterday to the cause. It's an older Anova 1000watt model. I've mostly stopped doing sous vide cooking so if it dies the world won't end just wasn't sure if guys had issues with the chewy bits messing things up.
I did notice that it took forever for the water temp to stabilize after putting the skull in the waterbath. I have an electric pressure washer ready to go for the first cleaning this afternoon.

Tonight I learned that sous vide method is crazy simple and perfect for my current lazy attitude.
Also when you blast a pressure washer into the skull of an elk you will wear said elk brains. Definitely wear rain gear you don't like.

I have two deer heads and pronghorn collecting mold in the garage. How long and at what temperature did you do this?

currently on a total of 18hrs at 140 degrees...couple scoops of OxyClean I turned it down to 130 going in until noon tomorrow so I can take it out and blast the last of it off and pick the little bits off in the daylight.
Here’s two threads detailing sous vide euro process. One is wllms and the other is mine. I just finished up my friends buck which is the best one I’ve done yet out of three, you can see it in there at the end. I strongly recommend zip ties and or rubber bands around the nose towards the end

Thought I’d do a quick post as this method works so well for cleaning a skull. 48 hours 155 for first 24 hours and then 145 for the last 24 hours. 4 scoops of oxiclean. Power-washed and drying, no picking required. After whitening with 50vol developer creme After sealing with...

Another Sous Vide Euro
Seems more and more people are trying these, sorry if y'all are sick of these posts. But I wanna chronicle this as potential list of what to do and what not to do for this - implying whatever I screw up this time around. It's not yet finished, but just started it this morning. A little buck...

As far as op original question, thus far as I’ve done these there really aren’t many wiggly bits floating around in the water. It loosens stuff and melts fat and but the loose stuff doesn’t just start floating every where, I don’t think it’s a huge concern. I’m sure you’ve already noticed this. Mine has no hiccups after three euros.

This is my second machine, like 8-10 critters in, I had a super cheap one from target before and it lasted 2 years probably like 10 critters.

heck yeah that's what I like to hear. I'm such an unsuccessful buck hunter that I should be able to pass mine down to my grandkids

There’s a boiling bucket that cost around $100. Uses and electric element. Similar idea.
