Cold shocking meat - Baltimore Pit Beef
Hello! First time posting here!
I recently got an egg and last weekend tried some baltimore pit beef from a recipe here (Griffen i think)... I took the meat off at 115 and let it rest. The temperature peaked at 138 after 1/2 hour or so which resulted in the meat being a little over cooked(it was still very good with the tiger sauce). I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of or tried cold shocking meat like you do vegatables to stop the cooking process.

What temp and how long? I think you probably should just pull it a little sooner.Anderson, SC

I think I seared it @ 350 for 1/2 hour and then cooked it indirect heat @ 350 until internal temp reached 115. I thought about next time taking it off sooner but then thought of putting it in a gallon zip bag and submersing it in an ice bath. -
If it were me I think I would take it off sooner. I have not done pit beef but I have never 'shocked' meat before...only veggies. I will obviously defer to someone who has cooked pit beef before but that is my $0.02Anderson, SC

thats a pretty big rise for a 350 degree dome cook.. did you use foil, im thinking no foil and place it up on a rack when resting?

No foil... I may just do an experiment this weekend. Cook two roasts and cold shock one.

I would just pull it at a lower temperature. One of the reasons you let meats rest is to allow the heat and moisture to distribute evenly. A cold shock will arrest this process. If you haven't calibrated you thermometers I would recommend that you do. It is the first thing I do when I buy one and before any important cook, such as a family event or cook-off. Once the water is boiling you can do several very quickly.Corpus Christi, Texas. LBGE x 2, Weber Smoky Joe, and Aussie Walk-About

I am planning on getting a slicer soon and the first thing on the list is some B-more pit beef. Used to live there and one of the things I miss most is the Charcoal Grill in Parkville. Can't wait for that slicer. FEAR the Turtle - UMD

If you want to stop the cooking process quickly, seal the meat in a food grade bag, like sous vide, and place it in a ice bath (1/2 water and 1/2 ice). Water dissipates heat (BTU's) ten times faster that air of the same temperature.
