![]() I've had some similar results with pork chops. After sous vide cooking, apply a small amount of your salt or salty sauces when serving the pork. If you have a chamber vacuum, you can marinate in the sous vide packaging under vacuum which will lead to more intense flavor using a lot less marinade. Try marinating in the spices and seasonings with a bit of oil minus the salt or salty sauces (at the very least, reduce the amount of salt in the marinade). I also put a quick sear on the pork with a hot cast iron pan immediately after taking it out of the bath for additional flavor from the Maillard reaction.įWIW, marinating meat in a salty sauce (fish sauce / soy sauce) will draw water out of the muscle fibers and make the meat tougher - this is especially true for thin cuts like your 1cm thick chops. I had whole marinated pork tenderloins that I cooked for 6 hours this way and they came out tender enough to cut with a fork. I use an industrial polyscience immersion circulator and I have found that cooking pork at 141F yields extremely tender meat that is both medium rare and safe. If you do not have a high quality immersion circulator with precise temperature control and your water bath temperature can vary by a few degrees, it is recommended to use at least 140F. Therefore it is recommended that you sous-vide pork at a temperature of 138F or higher. We also respect your privacy.The actual minimum temperature which kills the roundworm Trichinella spiralis is 137F. You should only be getting updates when new content is posted on the site.

If you have any questions or suggestions please leave them in the comment section down below. Hey guys, that’s it! Next time you come across monster chops like these, snag them (is that the right expression? I can’t tell at 5AM) and get that immersion circulator out of the drawer. I mean, they’re technically ready since you cooked them to 55C but the brutal sear might need some time to settle. Remove chops from the skillet and let them rest for a bit… or not. Wrap the chops tightly in paper towels to make sure they’re dry before they hit the pan. Anyways, get the skillet to about 400F… the pan should be starting to smoke. Cook over medium heat until rosemary starts looking a bit toasty. I actually used plain vegetable oil this time because I had some infused with rosemary earlier in the week (2 cups of vegetable oil and a bunch of chopped rosemary, about 1/2 cup. Don’t know about the danger zone? shoot me a comment down below.Īh! the trickiest part of the whole process and only because it requires a really hot skillet and paper towels. The reason why is that a big pot is gonna take a lot longer to warm up the water which means the chops (or any food) are going to stay in the danger zone for longer. If I had a much bigger pot then I might wait for the water to reach the final cooking temperature before adding the bags. ![]() My sous vide container is small enough that the water gets hot really quickly. I usually bring the water bath to final temperature but sometimes I get lazy and throw the bags in while the water still cold. ![]() If the chops are frozen thaw them before cooking (hopefully overnight in the fridge). ![]() If you have a vacuum sealer what are you still doing here? Get them ziplock bags and remove as much air as possible using the water displacement method (don’t know what that is? shoot me a comment below). I honestly don’t think pork needs much help though. I mean, it’s as careful as it’s gonna get. Chops tend to dry out easily, therefore, it requires careful searing and careful cooking which sous-vide cooking is all about. Thicker-chops means you’ll have an easier time when getting that golden crust on that screaming-hot skillet without ending up with a pair of rubber soles. I mean these guys here were almost 2 inches! (all of that came out kinda wrong…) Monster chops. ![]() Ah! perfect candidate for sous vide cooking especially when you find the really thick ones. It’s 4:30AM btw and today’s victim is the pork chop. Hey guys! hope everybody is doing great! I can’t sleep for whatever reason so instead, I’ll write about food… again. ![]()
