Sous vide in cryopac

[Bytor]

I apologize if this has been posted elsewhere, but is there any harm in giving a bath in the original Cryovac packaging? I scored several Smithfield preseason pork tenderloins and was wondering if they can just go directly in. Seems a waste to take them out and put into another bag.
Any thoughts on the matter?

Yes they can Just fine.

I have also done a couple of those and they came out great. A buddy of mine told me that he does them and he’s done quite a few, I tried it after he told me.

I have done it several times as well.

I've done the same at least a dozen times, no issues for me.

Start by putting the cryo into a container and let it thaw. If there's no blood/juice in the tray, you're good. I've had way too many that have had pinhole leaks that aren't noticeable while it's frozen. After the first time you come back to a cryo full of hot sous vide water (and have to get the blood off of the heating element) you'll want to check...

I'm going to give this a go with a Smithfield Loin Fillet. They are loin, split long ways to make them about the same size and shape as a tenderloin.
I generally prefer the texture at about 165 deg with other methods but Not sure how long.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I just did porksteaks in accordance with Bearcarvers method and got a BIG thumbs up from the She-Beast. NOT an easy task. She has issues with all but the most tender meat. I am sick and tired of chicken and fish because they are almost always tender enough for her to chew. I just don't have the time to cook 2 menus, so it's time the SV earned it's keep and bailed me out.

I generally SV pork at 145°. You will have to play around with the time depending on thickness, but I generally run thick cut (1 inch) chops a couple hours or so before searing.

I like lean pork and chicken breasts out of the SV at 145 followed by a quick sear. Juicy and tender every time. So consistent it feels like I'm cheating somehow
