The "should" be ready tomorrow around dinner time" comment makes me laugh.  Makes overnight brisket sound quick.

Well it is finished between 24 and 48 hours. 24 is the minimum amount of time and 48 is the max. Anywhere in between is good ;)

Looks like it is going to be a good cook - can't wait to see how it turns out.

Great price on that meat, by the way (at least compared to my area)

Mike, in case I missed it, are you cooking in a crock pot and if you are, are you using a PID to hold temps.

Yes Mike. I am using the Dorkfood Sous Vide Controller with a crock pot...

And I am using an aquarium air pump with a bubbler to circulate the water.

Pretty sure it's dinner time.  Hopefully you are enjoying that pork right about now.

You are correct sir!

I pulled the bag out after 28 hours...

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20130922_154900_zps99f129bd.jpg)

The bowl to the left was all the liquid that was in the bag...

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20130922_155228_zps0d4a9535.jpg)

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20130922_155232_zps84172542.jpg)

It was fall apart tender. I did manage to slice it however...

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20130922_155442_zpsb279069b.jpg)

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20130922_155449_zpsf6655a54.jpg)

Plated with West Coast Toast & Sous Vide Chicken Cesar Salad...

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20130922_161124_zps9b1001e4.jpg)

Seasoned with jalapeño salt...

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20130922_161129_zps86128561.jpg)

Also seasoned the chicken salad...

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20130922_161135_zpsf846cd79.jpg)

And the star of the show ;)

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20130922_161139_zps68669ef2.jpg)

So here is my opinion. That was the most tender, moist and flavorful pork roast I have ever had! Next time I will go heavier on the seasoning but regardless it was just so tender and flavorful!

I am really loving this Sous Vide cooking 8)

Its been a long wait but well worth it. Pork looks Awesome and a mighty fine chicken Cesar salad to boot.  Gotta say you make a pretty Fine West Coast Toast, I know I would have two slices :) Thanks for testing the waters with Sous Vide cooking, may have to give it a try one day :)

That looks great! I bet a pork loin cooked like that would be a hit.

A pork loin was one of the first Sous Vide cooks I tried. And it was fantastic too!

I sliced some leftover roast for a sandwich this morning. The fridge really firmed up the meat and made for some great sandwich slices ;)

Nice job again Mike!  The word that comes to mind when I saw your pork roast......SUCCULENT!  Looks spoon-tender!

Ok Muebe...here I am again, a day late and a dollar short.

I like what I see, will have to do some research.

I understand and accept everything in principle and buy into it 100%

The "look" is the only part I feel I would have to grow accustomed to, it looks raw.

Here is the beginning of my research:
1) how do you determine target temps
2) how do you regulate water temps

Thanks, you certainly are a trailblazer for us!
