It won't take ribs very long at all to get to 140 if the water is already at 140F. Much less than the recommended time food can stay in the danger zone.

How long do you think it's going to take for the internal temp to get above 140? Because in my humble opinion, this seems like you're asking for a good case of food poisoning. Depending on which bacterium are present, you are giving them ample time in the "danger zone" to develop toxins that are going to be present regardless of how long it stays above 140 or regardless of how high the heat gets when you finish them on the grill.




Douglas Baldwin's site on sous vide cooking

If you click the link and have the time to read it, you will have all of your concerns addressed.

Those ribs will be perfectly safe to eat.

I do turbo ribs on the BGE, 2-3 hrs start to finish. Like dis: LINK
I've been doing a lot of reading on "turbo smoking". Most say there is little to no difference between it and "low n slow". I plan on doing my next butt roast and ribs this method.

I propose the next time you do a thread like this to finish the experiment then post all.

The waiting is killing me.

Hmm interesting proposition. Does the vacuum eliminate the worry of the bacteria or is the prolonged period of time below 140 degrees a real issue?

48 hours is up and the grill is lit. My portion of ribs is still in the bag which looks like this...



It's hard to see by the still pic, but these babies literally poached in their own fat, along with my rub.

Safe zone was mentioned earlier, and this next step is very important if you're going to try sous vide, and that is to immerse what's headed to the fridge or freezer in an ice water bath. Again, as with cooking, it's the power of water convection to plunge the internal temp down as quickly as possible. You can't simply toss anything out of the bath directly into the fridge or freezer because the inner temp won't chill fast enough. The food should sit fully immersed in the ice bath for an hour, more if it's thick.



Another beer is consumed as I wait for the grill. Corn on the cob is soaking as are apple wood chips. The anticipation is killing me.

Haha awesome.

Never knew a different method of cooking some ribs could cause such a stir.

How long you keeping them on the grill?

Haven't really paid attention. I just wanted to get some smoke on them, dry them out a touch and...(purists, cover your ears)...caramelize the sauce I've added.

I actually anticipated more uprising by posting this method, perhaps even a ban. Maybe my addition of sauce will put it over the edge.

Excellent Degas. Just as I expected they would be. Nice looking fork shot too.

Your belly is full. Your mouth is happy and ribs are in the freezer for another day. Sounds like a successful project to me. Thanks for the post. Good looking ribs.

They do look awesome. The sight of those with no smoke flav is hurting my feelings though.

I'd have to had injected some liquid smoke, as sinful as that may be.
