Notes
If you're adapting this recipe for sous vide pearl onions, slice them in half or leave them whole if they're very small.
It can be tricky to sous vide liquid in bags, depending on your vacuum sealer. It can help to let the bag hang over the side of the counter, to let gravity pull the liquid down while the top gets a clean seal. Consult your vacuum sealer if you encounter trouble getting a seal.
