First cook was Spicy Rubbed Sous Vide Pork Chops.

I had some 1 1/2" bone in chops and they turned out super tender! Left them in the water at 140 for 3 hrs, just due to timing of other dishes. I finished them on the BGE at 450 for 90 seconds a side. I might tweak the recipe next time & delete some of the molasses or brown sugar & try 500 on the BGE to finish with a better crust.

Had one ziplock fail in the water. My vacuum sealer will be here on Friday.

I finally broke down and got one. Chicken thighs, wings, and thick rib chops have been great. Going to look for a small tri-tip today.

Nope. I'm not immature. But I'm still not cooking in a bag.

Does sous vide make much of a difference with chicken thighs? I've seen on here plenty that sous vide is a game changer for chicken breast and thick pork chops, but I don't think I've seen many talk about thighs

irrational thinking the food is being boiled without giving a thought to the science.

Thighs are my absolute favorite part of the chicken. I air fry them, smoke them, grill them. Even though they are pretty forgiving, still occasionally get that dark pink and tough pulls from "undercooking" even when the meat is to temp.

With the sous vide the meat pulls clean and you don't have to wirry about undercooking or overcooking.

Thighs - 165 for two hours. 1.5 is probably plenty. Pat dry and put under the broiler if you want to crisp up the skin.

Wings - 165 for one hour if you want them to maintain some structure and firmness. 160 for two hours if you want them to fall off the bone. I usually finish them on the grill to crisp them up.

Last night I got a couple petit prime strips from Robert's ($12.56 a pound, fyi) and sous vide at 133 for two hours and finished in a pan. Fat cap was like butter. Absolutely one of the best steaks I have cooked.

I’ve never used one. Is there a way to do steaks, how they are done, at the same time? For example, doing one medium rare and one well done at the same time. Do you just sear the done one longer?

I cook a ton of wings & thighs on the BGE, did thighs last night. A thermapen has made it easy nail them every time, crispy & cooked worry free.

I will give it a go w/ the SV. My vacuum sealer comes in today.

Hmmm, I have always done mine to medium rare. If I had to get two to different doneness, I would just take one out, then raise the water temp for the second one. Then, when it's at temp, lower and put the other one back in just in case it cooled too much.

I have always done the opposite. Hot water with the more well done steak for 1 hour, then cool the water with tap water to less well done temp and leave both steaks in until you are ready for them.
