So, if you take a piece of meat and set it on a plate to prepare the meat.
do you toss the plate after?

It takes but a minute to wash, rinse, and put the bag over a bottle to dry.

As for the juices being sucked out, that is not a big problem. I sometmes
wrap the meat in plastic to make it eaiser to separate when taking it out.
Side benefit is that it keeps the juices in and the bags clean.
