Small glass jars for sous vide egg bites
The best jars for sous vide egg bites, in my experience, are the small glass mason jars with straight edges.
When cooking sous vide egg bites, curved-edge containers can make it tricky to eat the bites directly or to pop them out for freezing.
While it’s true that you’ll need a collection of glass jars, they’re a worthwhile investment—especially since you’ll likely use them for desserts too.
I recommend small glass mason jars with straight edges; they’re perfect for keeping the eggs separated from the water and make the process much smoother. So go ahead—get them!
Can you use ziplock bags?
No. Not for egg bites.
Sous vide scrambled eggs can be made in a ziplock bag, but egg bites need a mold.

How to keep egg bites from sticking to mason jars
It can be so frustrating to make egg bites without greasing the jars first.
You’ll want use something like this olive oil cooking spray to grease the mason jars before adding the egg mixture.
Well, that pretty much wraps up what you need to make Starbucks egg bites with a sous vide.
