SV Thick Cut Pork Chops
Thick cut pork chops may be the greatest thing you can do in a combined SV Egg cook. Unfortunately, this cook didn't come out so great.
Did some SV pork chops on Sunday. 145 for 1hr, 20minutes. Based on some time constraints, I wasn't able to finish these on the egg until this evening. I took them out of the SV and immediately put them back in the fridge in the same SV bags on Sunday night. Tonight, I took them out and cooked them on a 400 dome temp grill at fire ring height. 2-3 mins per side.
They tasted fine but were a tougher texture than expected. Every other time I did these, it was at 140 for right at an hour. Relatively same egg execution, but 400 may have been higher than previous cooks.
Question: could 145 at 1:20 make that much of a difference in texture? Could it be the time on the egg COMBINED with the SV stats make it tougher? Or could it just be not such a great cut of meat.
Thanks for your input.
