Sous Vide in Cryo pack?

[mnavarre]

Is there any problem SVing a beef tongue in it's cryo from the packing plant? Planning on 158x36. Or should I just play it safe and foods saver it?

Yes. There is a problem.

Cryo isnt rated for SV temps. There’s no way to know if it will maintain seals for 36 hours at that temp.

Always rebag.

Cool, that's what I'd actually planned on doing. Was mostly a "huh, I wonder" kinda question. Thanks PKB!

Lemme just +1 this.

I've actually done some long sous vide sessions in the original bags. This worked okay until a bag split with two pork butts in it. This was a shorter cook and at higher temps than I usually sous vide at but... it happened. It sucks too, especially when it happens while you're sleeping.

I think Potkettleblack just saved you from a potential disaster. Sometimes this site is simply worth the price of admission
