Sous Vide Pork Chops
« Reply #-1 on: November 01, 2014, 06:59:25 PM »
Here are 2 thick cut pork chops after a 6 hour, 138 degree water bath in my Demi Sous Vide Supreme.  I seasoned them with
Smokin Guns Hot rub prior to bagging them.


After a 2 minute sear per side on the SRG.


My plate with boxed hash brown casserole and sauteed spinach with garlic.


Here’s your bite!


I normally will brine pork chops for several hours before cooking them.  I honestly expected these to turn out dry since they were
in the bath so long.  I was way off base on that as these turned out absolutely tender, moist and delicious!

How could anything dry out if it is "in the bag" and "in the pool"?  Your pork chops look delicious!!

Over cooking them can push all the moisture out of the meat into the bag but at 138F that would take a long time to happen..

Those chops look awesome!

Thanks everyone! I have lots of bad luck when it has come to dry pork chops so that's why I was amazed at the way these came out. I
also thought 6 hours might have been too long, but when I checked out a few Sous Vide sites this morning it recommended 6 hours at
138. Guess they knew what they were talking about!  ;) ;D
