Vacuum containers and chamber vacs

Brandon_Byrd_40557

There are several companies that sell Tupperware-like containers with one-way vacuum valves on the lid. I recently saw a video where Wylie Dufresne filled one such container with a foie gras mousse dispensed from a whipping siphon and then placed it inside a chamber vacuum to aerate it. I've also seen the same technique used elsewhere to aerate chocolate.

Does anyone have experience using these containers inside a chamber vac? Most are designed for use with a hand pump or with a hose and an accessory port on a vacuum sealer. Do they work just as well if you put them directly a chamber vac? Any brand/model suggestions would be welcome.

I have the vp112 and have used the accessory hose and the containers with good success. Also with mason jars. The limitation with using it without the hose is we have to turn it off and let the product "set" in the chamber and be able to withstand the release portion of the cycle.

I have done an aerated chocolate similar to Heston's from his ISOP Black Forest Gateau recipe. I did it placing an acetate candy container in a quart Masson jar surrounded by ice, ice in the jar. Siphoned the NO2 infused chocolate into the candy container and then vacuum sealed with a hose using a seal-a-meal mason jar lid sealer. Refrigerated for an hour, it was aerated chocolate but probably would of had larger aerated bubbles with a more powerful vacuum. At least by using the mason jar lid sealer it remaind under a constant vacuum pressure. If you try it with your chamber vacuum please let me know how it works.

I've only used the attachment on my chamber but never put it inside. I don't have one that would fit otherwise I'd test it for you. Done the aerated chocolate in a mason jar before though.
