Took 2 thick, boneless chops and bathed them at 144 for 75 minutes. In with the chops was melted butter with smashed garlic, fresh thyme, a little canola and S & P. Seared on the Egg and finished with some of the marinade. It was most tasty. Red potatoes and squash on the side. Thanks for looking.

    Ron, I'm inherently not a show off, but I must agree a fine white Burgundy would pair perfectly.  Thank you brother!

    That looks delicious my friend. At some point I'm going to have to invest in a SV set up. So after 75 minutes the chops are at 144? I've read the SV changes the texture - not bad sometimes. Does it make the pork chop more tender or is it an easy way to reach the desired IT? Again, it looks delicious.

    Mmmmm tasty chops there!

    @SciAggie for stuff like chops and chicken - Sv is great. You can throw them in ahead of time and have a really wide window of time when you can eat. Like, throw chicken into the SV at 4:00 and eat at 6, or 6, or 5:30. Just pull it out and sear and ready. And the texture of SV chicken breast at 155 is fantastic. 

    I happened to get an email this morning - they went in sale for about $150 - the Anova units, on amazon

    Brother Aggie, chops were IT 144 probably after 45 minutes.  As brother blind points out, there is flexibility.  The texture is really no different in chops.  The retained moisture is the key in chops and chicken.  It's more about perfect IT and moisture.  And control.  You should add it to your excellent arsenal.
