    For what its worth a buddy of mine in Tampa went to Master Purveyors and ordered a sirloin tip which came cryovaced and was talking with one of the owners about sou vidding the tip.  He was going to do it in the same bag that it was packaged in.  The owner said not to because of the petroleum that is in the plastic and the hot water and the reaction between the 2.
    I'm not sure I believe that. I've SV'ed many things in their original cryovac and have never noticed any petroleum flavor in the meat, or noticed any kind of residue in the water or cooler I SV'ed in.

    But then again, I live in Houston and can't taste the petroleum in the water here either.

    That is not accurate. There is petroleum in every plastic bag- that's what plastic is. Even zip lock bags are safe up to 180 (and you never SV that high).
