Could you explain your proposed alternative?  "Just sous vide in water" sounds like you intend to ditch the bag and just poach stuff at low temps?  THAT is a recipe for foodborne illness... you're culturing everything in the air in your kitchen that happens to land in the pot full of growth medium at the right temp for bacterial growth.

I have a Sous Vide Supreme.  I was thinking of "Sous Vide" the meats without bags in the Sous Vide Supreme with just water.  The Sous Vide Supreme has a cover, though it's not perfectly air tight.

 

I would do Chicken Breasts at 141F for 2 hours, Chicken thighs at 165F for 2 hours, and Pork Shoulder at 156F for 24 hours.  Then I would freeze them for future use.

 

Do you think this is dangerous?

 

Thanks for all the helpful thoughts everyone!
