Vacuum-seal or partially close resealable bag, getting as much air out as possible to keep bag from floating, and place in water bath. If using a resealable plastic bag, push down into water until only the open edge of bag is exposed (this will push more air out of the bag), then seal.

Turn on machine and heat water to 140°F. Cook pork 8 hours, giving you just enough time to watch two episodes of This Is Us, read a couple chapters of your book, floss, brush, sleep, get up, get dressed, brush your teeth, and eat a bowl of cereal.
