Whirlpool bath time. Dropped in still frozen...

Seasoned with Desert Gold and quick seared after an ice bath...

It was just the right color pink. Not as red as the pic makes it appear...

Both chops were excellent! Yes I ate both... Why? Because I am a grown ass man that's why :D

They look really, really good. nice cook partner.

Looks delicious from here. I know why you ate 2, but why the ice bath? Was it lag time between the hot tub finish and searing? :-X :-X :-X

That is a great looking chop. I didn't think SV did much for lean chops. Did you? I think I felt brining added more value

Mike - they look great...and - as usual...I laugh my butt off at your closing line..... :D

I did not want them to cook more during the sear.

These were already brined and they were sooo good!

I believe brining is a good thing to do - sous vide or not.
However, my understanding (and SV experts feel free to jump on me if I am mistaken) is that cooking SV will ensure that the temp and appearance is uniform throughout the meat - the ultimate sear will be so short and not significantly impact either the finished temp or appearance. Thus, a medium rare piece of meat is uniformly pink from edge to edge with a nice crust vs. the grey band that we get when cooking in other ways. The flavor and "juiciness" likewise are more consistent.
