After the sous vide is finished, can I put water and ice in the container and put it in the refrigerator right away?

The vacuum sealer was acting up, so I wasted an hour repacking the ziploc bags, and I need to go to bed now. Can I just put the meat in ice water and put it straight in the fridge?

    You can put the bad straight in the fridge. Older refrigerators couldn’t keep up if you put something hot in them and it heated the whole refrigerator. Modern refrigerators aren’t nearly as affected by this, particularly with it being something so small. I do it all the time and it has never once mattered at all.
