Pork Chops with the SV

Great cook Ron.  SV chops is one of my fav cooks right now.  

Thank you my friend. I can make a great roast loin, and have done pretty good on chops, but I could never beat Patti's, now I blow them out of the water. Check that column of another meal I will never have to go and buy because I can make it better.
Appreciate the kind words and agree SV is the only way to do pork chops.

I might need to start cooking my food in water.  Looks great!  

You know you can boil water on the Egg, right?

Fables. Conjecture. Fantasy. Never hurts to dream.

Good stuff! Love SV chops. Let us know how you like them at 135. 

even without the ping pong balls and the top, the Anova will hold that temp rock solid forever. But the top helps insulate the bath and prevents evaporation which is handy for a long cook at higher temps. I use glad press n seal over the top as I'm too lazy to have made a better top. Also, a towel wrapped around the outside holds a lot of heat. It doesn't affect the temp of the bath st all but I figure then the Anova runs the heater a little less. 
On the topic of wine-
Cakebread 2012 syrah- boy is this a nice bottle

Those chops look outstanding! What did you season with? I like your thoughts on finishing on the egg. I need to try SV chops.

Sea Salt, coarse ground black pepper, and garlic. I really look forward to the next time we do pork chops again, as My Beautiful Wife and I both love a smoke flavor, and think this delicious cook could benefit with a sweet smoke of pecan, peach, apple, hickory, etc,.
Thank you for the kind words. 
Worth the investment, by far.

Thank you sir. The SV is the way to go with pork chops. I will also say the food saver, although not required, really helps out tremendously. Followed by a cast iron sear, provides a cook hard to beat. Anywhere.
