I buy these 2 1/2 gallon ziplock bags at dollar tree 5 to A box and put my sticks or sausage in there. Tried it without bagging did not like the flavor as well and also did not like the oil and particles in my water and in my sous vide. Tried both ways like bagging them better. Easy to put probe in sausage in that big bag, no reason to vac seal.

How do you know sausage is up to temp without puncturing the casing
-
I just slip the point of my thermometer insta read into the end of a sausage and read the temp!

Don’t worry about puncturing the casing if you want to be absolutely sure. Once you get to the point where they may be done, the casing does little for you.
Or, you can do something like what I did. I used a “sacrificial” sausage that had a probe inserted in it, and I assumed the others would be close enough. The sacrificial one got eaten that day and never got packaged.

Boone1 Yeah, puncturing the casing isn’t that big of a deal. You can stick it in the end which may or may not be open depending on the type of casing but in general, it won’t matter
