I originally did it this way, but doing the volume at one time my freezer didn't have the capacity so I started using the ice bath. Also, using a clip to hold the bag closed I was afraid if the bag fell over in the ice bath that water would get in. That is why I started sealing the bag before chilling. Just to be upfront, I am only cooking for personal use, and sell occassionally to friends.
