Pork belly + SV + Egg sear = good.

Hi all,
As the subject mentions, and as I'm sure lots of you know, there are some combinations that just work so well.
This is my 2nd time doing belly w/o removing the skin, and letting the SV bath melt it. 48 hours at 140F, followed by a sear skin side down on the Egg, grill at low level. Dome was just under 400F. Not quite getting where I wanted it. Opened the vents to go to 550, flipped the slab a couple of times over maybe 7 minutes.
Pretty good. The skin hand no tough left, and was slightly crispy. Meat side got some good grill marks.
When cut still warm, was at the pulling stage, and even a good knife was just making it fall apart. The remainder is chilling now, and I suppose will slice fine tomorrow.

I used a bunch of Penzey's Galena Street rub. A gift from my SIL. The other branch of the same family runs the Spice House, and their Bronzeville rub is similar, but more intense, and one of my favorites. So I used a lot, which was good, because the SV bag had a small leak, and most of the spices oozed out into the bath. (I'm cooking that down now for pork stock) So I smeared Walkerwood jerk sauce over the meat side before the sear.
Lucked out, texture was very good, flavor was better than average.

I did a similar thing a few years ago at Christmas. I scored the skin rather than removing and went 76 hours in the SV. Reheated on a steel skin down. Just cut it into cubes and served it with some Saigon sriracha on the side. Man it lasted like two minutes

Photo Egg said:gdenby said:Yeah, I was really happy w. how the skin melted into gel. I need more work on crisping the gel. Still, meat that can almost be inhaled. Yum-m-m.
As wet at the whole things was, I wonder if deep frying wouldn't get a steam explosion.
