OT: Medium Well pulled pork?!? SV

in Pork
So, I wanted to try something just to see. I took a MONSTER bone in chop and dropped in my Sous Vide Supreme at 140 for 45 hours. Pulled like a butt at 200! Pretty darn good if I do say so. Not something I see me doing all the time, but it was fun just to experiment with the Sous Vide times. Typically I would only leave a chop in for 5 hours MAX. Next time I'll try tp close it up with some bbq sauce already in it.

    Looks like a winner to me. If it's anywhere near as good as your tri tip and chicken out of the SV save me some!!! Looks excellent brother.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Any risks since the "safe zone" is 40 to 140 hovering right at it that long. Just curious

    No, you can actually safely pasturize at like 130 in a sous vide.  I don't know enough about the science except to say that the "danger zone" is overly generalized. Look at this chart and you will get a better idea. (couldn't find one for pork, but it's similar)

    that looks really good, but isn't this just more expensive than a butt?  what's the benefit, or was this just noodling to see if you could?
    Love you bro!

    Just to see if I could. The concept of medium cooked pulled pork appealed to me and I was curious of the effects of time on meat in the SV. I had a chop that needed to get cooked anyhow.  I really doubt there is a true benefit outside the lower fat in a chop vs a butt.
