Title: Beechwood Smoked Unstuffed Loin Chops
Post by: bamabob on July 01, 2017, 06:43:24 PM

Had planned on cooking these stuffed but thought the smoke may be too much for the stuffing.  Good Call.  First time trying the Beechwood chunks on pork, works very well.  I like the mild sweetness of the Beechwood.  These were fantastic, marinated overnight in sweet chili sauce & pineapple juice.  Served with corn on the cob, and the stuffing on the side.

Marinated in the Foodsaver vacuum marinator, that thing is great.

That looks delicious Bob! I need to get me one of those vacuum marinators but every time I go to buy one, I read bad reviews on them about them not lasting long and breaking. I may just have to roll the dice.

I am certainly not a Rocket Surgeon, but I did find this (http://www.genuineideas.com/ArticlesIndex/pressuremarinade.html).  So, I don't know if the vacuum thingie atually works, but, regardless, Dayum, those are some good looking chops ! ! !

What I like most about the marinator is that when the meat spends a length of time in the fridge, the vacuum seals in the odors.  I also use if for leftovers, does help keep them fresh and again keeps the fridge smelling fresh. 
as far as marinating, can't really say it makes a lot of difference, but I have noticed when doing small cuts of meat I notice air bubbles coming out of the meat as it pulls a vacuum.

Whether it works or not, who knows. The main thing is it looked great on the plate and that is what counts.

Just a thought BD...
The rotating vac marinaders I use are said to be more effective than static vac marinading because moving the meat around causes it to "flex" - seemingly forcing a faster intake of marinade/brine. Who be knowin'? 8)

I use mine a lot. (especially for chicken) I think it makes it better, & perception is reality.  :D :D :D
