I have never done pork chops in the sous vide. My SO was giving me shite on cooking it medium rare (140) so I cooked mine at 144 degrees. Even though it was higher than what I wanted, it turned out excellent. She said this may have been the best chop she has ever had.

I did 144 for 2.5 - 3 hours until we were ready to eat. I seasoned them generously with salt and pepper. I put fresh thyme and rosemary and a little butter then vac sealed them.

thick cut, bone-in pork chops are easily my favorite meat to sous vide

I love thick cut chops, but I always had such a hard time cooking them correctly or consistently

the meat closet to the bone was always undercooked, the the meat towards the exterior was always overcooked

if one of the sous vide haters would tell me of an easier, more consistent way to perfectly cook a thick cut, bone in pork chop, by all means, please let me know

I'll wait

I am alive

but I noticed that as well. It was still amazing nonetheless. I think cooking at 144 degrees had that meat closest to bone at the perfect texture. The center piece was slightly on the white (well done) side but wasnt dried out at all

Easy. Let chops sit to room temp for about 20 mintues. Cook in cast iron skillet for 3-4 minutes in smoking hot oil then transfer to 400 deg oven for 6-7 minutes. Money

This does produce a fine chop and how I used to do it, but I think the SV creates a more tender and juicier chop.

I'm married. Sorry.

but I have no idea how your admitted active time of cooking (9-10 min) is easier than an active time of about 2 minutes

and in your method on a thick chop, you will have about 4-5 different temperature zones, whereas sous vide, you will have 2, so I don't know how you could possibly say it is more consistent

You are really over thinking this whole cooking thing. The only temp I am worried about is the internal temp of the thickest part of the meat. Create an outside crust and cook in the oven. That's it. Never had an issue. All of these cooking zones you speak of is non sense. I know you want SV to be some miraculous cooking phenomenon but it's not. People have been cooking juicy,tender,delicious cuts of meat in less than ten minutes since before you were born. It's not rocket science.

I mean the only issue would be the thickness of the chop. 1'' vs 2'' for 2 1/2'' etc, then you would have to vary oven times

not really, this pretty basic stuff that you can't seem to grasp

and that is fine

that way certainly produces a fine piece of meat, just that sous vide arguably produces a more consistent piece of meat

not cooking zones, temp zones

never made such a claim

this type of posts just scream of some type of insecurity, and I really don't get it

sous vide is just another method of cooking that produces very consistent results

thats it

why you and a few others are so insecure about this, I have no idea

Damnit baw! Looks incredible! Mine came out good last night but you got a better sear.

I'm reheating one for lunch soon to see how they are as leftovers.

they are just the types that knock it before they try it

What I have noticed about Sous Vide on this board... Its picking up new fans after each sous vide post. Those in knocking it are becoming the minority IMO

i def agree with the amount of SV posts lately. I am all for it.

I will have to check into baby back ribs. I saw someone say 40 hours. I am cool with that but just want to make sure that is correct and at what temp.
