Zip lock, immerse them in the water with a small opening in the zip, and the air comes out. Then seal up.

Personally, I wouldn't sous vide a ribeye. Too fatty.

Is it not as good to cook more fatty meats, or just not needed?

What do you like about ribeye? With sous vide you can make a NY strip

I've found that the sous vide doesn't render fat as fully as other methods like a hot skillet/oven

kccougar

This. Fat doesn't quite render at the lower temps

We've always used ribeye for sous vide. This year for Christmas it was just too fatty. Today we tried New York cuts

I go to one for Christmas and can’t wait to try it.

That is really rare. Does it taste good all frozen?

127 for four hours

4 hours?!?

Sure. Softens it up

I thought 4 hrs pushed the food safe zone for meats cooked under 135 degrees

No. You can cook chicken at that temp if you wanted and did it long enough.

I think the food is safe (I may be wrong), but I've read where if you cook things too long they can get mushy

Zenoch

This does happen.

Serious Eats guy says to never cook lower than 130 for longer

I was referring to steak

I like the longer sear with ribeyes to help with the fat
