I have a few packs of pork chops that have been vacuum sealed. Two to a pack and atop one another.

Would they cook normally in a sous vide or do I have to remove them and seal them individually?

The whole point is that everything in the bag has a uniform temp throughout, so I can't see why this would be an issue. Don't have personal experience to back that up though, so take it with a grain of salt

Ok, so I legit have a downvote stalker on this board now. Get a life chump

We've done it before. Might take a little longer to get to temperature but eventually it will get there. When we did it both sides were seasoned and thrown into the same bag. Two pieces frozen together with the seasoning just on the outer perimeter and not between the two pieces? I'm sure it will still cook just not sure how well seasons the two pieces will be.

They will cook normally. Season and sear afterwards and enjoy.

No seasoning. Just chops that were bagged two to pack and then frozen.

Could I always season after the initial cook and before the sear?

Right but are they side by side or stacked on top one another?

The beauty of sous is that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the product. Put them in a 135°F bath for two hours and forget about it.
