Is it ok to place the bagged ingredients into the water bath prior to it reaching the desired cooking temperature? I like to add the ingredients before the water gets too hot. I start timing the cooking after it reaches the desired temperature.

It's not an issue with most things, but for delicate items like fish it can make a difference. This is assuming that your bath temperature is the final desired temp of your product... if you're using a hotter bath (aka. a "temperature delta") then this might cause issues -- but that technique isn't often used very often. I think the only recipes that CS does with a temperature delta are the 75C egg and the hamburger patties.

I haven't had a problem. Joule heats up so quickly that for most things you should be fine, only with the few exceptions that

mentioned, and those are only because you can overcook them and want to use the precise timing.

I do it all the time, more often than not. I haven't seen any negative effects.

It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. FDA foods shouldn't be between 40˚F and 130˚ for more than 5 hours. But with meats you get lots of enzyme help at 77˚ and 122˚, and shocking up to 130˚ bypasses those ranges.
