Can anyone tell me if/when the ziplock should be sealed during cooking?

If the entire bag will be submerged...or could possibly become submerged, zip/seal. If it will be clipped to the side...or will not fall in...zipping not necessary. Just be sure the contents of the bag remains submerged at all times.

Be aware that zip locks are inferior at higher temps.. seams will/could fail. Recommend freezer bags w/out the zipper and for longer cooks vac bags. That said you don't have to "zip it" shut** usually it's just draped over the side and clipped to the pot edge or in a cooler with over head rods that can be clipped to. Completely sealed vac bags are the way to go for certain things as well.

The Ziplock folks have caught on to this.
Skip the bags with the little slider thingy and get the ones with the reinforced seal you have to do yourself.
Use a large bowl of water to force the air out through the remaining "small" opening and seal it.
Under 150 and you're a go.
Avoid The Dollar Store rejects.

Awesome. I've always wondered because Chefsteps does/says it differently every time.
