No one should be using these anyway. Everyone rags on Keurig for how wasteful it is and how much plastic it adds to landfills and probably your coffee, but no one seems to talk about how this does the same thing :/

You can use re-useable silicone bags

Plus they are about 20x cheaper to cook with than an oven in terms of energy efficiency

You can buy reusable bags, but honestly if you’re concerned about the environment the slab of meat is probably worse for the environment than the plastic waste.
