one thing about SV :   although the size / width of your item matters initially

 

for temperature equilibrium , it does not matter for the final ' done-ness '

 

i.e. Rare , Medium , and god forbid it please , Well Done.

 

therefore , you can get ' perfect ' done-ness on cuts that have a smaller diameter :

 

consider cutting that large pork loin ( the loin , not the tenderloin )

 

in 1/2 , lengthwise  and cooking several bags at the same time , rapid chill and freeze the extra few

 

very little extra work , and they  are cooked and ready to re-therm any time.

 

you Freezer is you SV multiplier .  keep that in mind.
