I bought a $400 sous vide machine and it's mostly just taking up space

Everyone talks about sous vide like it's a must-have, but I find it more trouble than it's worth. I got a popular model last fall, thinking it would change my protein game. For a busy line, the long cook times just don't fit. I can get a better sear and control with my cast iron and thermometer in a fraction of the time. The extra plastic waste from the bags also bugs me. Has anyone else found they barely use theirs after the first few tries?

Totally get that, mine's basically a fancy paperweight too.

My buddy at the gym said his ended up in a garage sale after six months.
