Cooking container / lid /rack

Hi, I would like to cook more food than will fit in my stockpot. I saw a plastic tub on amazon specifically designed for sous vide. Do I need a top if I’m only cooking for an hour or so? How about the rack that’s designed for it? Is that necessary? I don’t mind buying the stuff but I hate to waste money.

If im cooking for a short period of time I never use a lid. If it’s a 12- 48 hour cook I will just put plastic wrap over the top to keep the heat in and keep the water from evaporating.

Stephanie is correct, you don't need a lid. Plastic wrap works fine or I really like a yoga mat cut to fit. For long cooks and/or high temperature cooks it is highly recommended. As far as a rack, I like IKEA pot lid racks. They are not expensive, and you can flip them over and use them to hold bags down.
