This is a self-sealing foam tape designed for use in sous vide cooking, specifically to address the practical problem of probe insertion. When a temperature probe is pushed through a vacuum-sealed bag during water bath cooking, it creates a small puncture that can allow water ingress or bag leakage. This tape is applied around the probe entry point to expand and form a reliable seal, allowing accurate internal temperature monitoring without compromising the integrity of the bag.

In a busy kitchen running multiple water baths simultaneously, maintaining bag integrity is straightforward but important. A failed seal can mean a bag taking on water, diluting marinades or cooking liquids, or — more critically — disrupting the controlled environment that makes sous vide cookery reliable. This tape keeps that risk low without slowing down prep or service.

  • Seals around probe insertion points to prevent water ingress
  • Works across the temperature range relevant to water bath cooking
  • Easy to cut and apply during bag preparation
  • PVC construction holds its seal under sustained immersion
  • Each roll provides a practical working length for ongoing kitchen use

It is worth noting that this tape is rated to 70°C, which covers the temperature range used in most sous vide applications. It is not intended for high-temperature applications outside that range. Each roll is 1m in length, so higher-volume kitchens running continuous sous vide programmes may want to keep several rolls in stock.

This tape is well suited to any kitchen operating sous vide equipment with probe monitoring — from hotel kitchens and restaurant prep sections through to contract catering operations. If you are unsure how this fits into your current sous vide setup, the team is happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

How much tape is typically needed per probe insertion?

A small section of tape is usually sufficient to seal around a single probe entry point. Exact usage will depend on probe diameter and bag material, but a 1m roll provides a useful working supply for ongoing kitchen use. High-volume kitchens running several water baths continuously may find it practical to keep spare rolls to hand.

Is this tape suitable for all sous vide temperature ranges?

The tape is rated from -30°C to 70°C, which covers the temperature range used in the vast majority of sous vide applications, including proteins, vegetables, and most delicate preparations. It is not intended for use above that threshold, so it would not be appropriate for any high-temperature applications outside standard water bath cooking.

Does the tape work with all types of vacuum bag?

The tape is designed to seal around probe punctures in standard vacuum-sealed bags used for sous vide cookery. It is worth ensuring the bag surface is dry before applying the tape to achieve the best seal. If you are using non-standard bag materials or have specific requirements around your sous vide setup, feel free to speak with the team before ordering.
