So, I left this morning with my short ribs cooking at 185*. I just got back and the water evaporated enough to shut down the immersion cooker. The water temp was 109.5* when I got home. I don't know how long the cooker was off. Is that 109.5* enough to keep the meat safe or should I throw it? Thanks.

Bone in short ribs is one of my favorite sous vide applications.

LINK no longer with pics

Another link with a pic

I haven't had success with boneless short ribs, but when done correctly, the larger bone in short ribs from Albertson's are fricking awesome...like prime rib on a stick.

Can't help you with your current plight.

Yeah,I saw recipes calling for 72 hour cooks. I have no idea how you keep enough water to do that. Must be cooking them in a swimming pool.

The danger zone is 40 to 140 degrees for up to four hours. If it was sitting in this zone for an undetermined amount of time, toss them unfortunately.

Try bone-in 132 degrees for 72 hours. You'll be pleased.

Report back.

. I never even thought about that.

On another note I had it full of water when I left this morning at 8:30. So, it probably shut down around 12:30 at the earliest but I would think it would be more like 2:00ish.
