Default Can You Use Sous Vide to Defrost?

Say you have a frozen roast or rib that you want to cook by sous vide for 24
or more hours. Can you just put the vacuum packed meat into the sous vide
frozen, and use it to defrost the meat as well as cook it? Maybe you add a
few hours to the cook time for that?

Your woman abuse is as grotesque, unprovoked, and ugly as anything
anyone in this medium has ever done.

That wasn't your original argument. Your argument was that you

Would seasoning(s) be applied to the item while still frozen then cooked
via sous vide? No clue how that'd turn out (?).

Why not do it in the original package? It is silly to take it out and
repackage it.

I agree. I checked with the company that makes most of the vacuum
packaging for the meat packers, and they said that the type of plastic
they use is fine up to boiling (which S-V never gets to). Works fine,
too.

Yes, seasoning before defrosting, and I was also wondering how that would
affect the result.
