Pedantic: you built a really cool PID-controlled immersion heater, not a "sous vide cooker". Sous vide is the technique of preparing food in a vacuum. Placing food in a zip-top bag and displacing the air out might give you a reasonable water-product interaction surface, but it does not form a vacuum, and therefore is not cooking en sous vide.
