SV’d Chilled n Seared Chops

Posts: 10,458
Bought a pork loin on sale last week and chopped up some for chops. Mrs3969 doesn’t like thick chops so hers were 3/4 and mine 1 1/4.

They went into the SV @135 for 2 1/2hrs with S&P, butter and a few sprigs of fresh thyme. Then they went into an ice bath to chill for the sear section. This worked great getting the 2 thicknesses done at the same time without overcooking the thin one.

And plated with some broccoli slaw that Mrs3969 whopped up and some fresh maters.

Big shout out to @The Cen-Tex Smoker the chilling info in an earlier thread. Worked great. Thanks for looking.

@dweebs0r - it’s a 10 1/2” Lodge Griddle that I cut the handle off. The done will not close. I bought this set to use on the small when it was on sale for $59 I cut all the handles off. I’ve also got a 8” skillet that works great on the mini-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

Looks great, the ice bath sounds like a good idea, how long did you do it?____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli

Great cook and outcome. Congrats. As above-nailed that CI sear.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.

Maybe 5-7mins on these because they are what I consider thin. Just trying to chill so not to overcook during sear.paqman said:Looks great, the ice bath sounds like a good idea, how long did you do it?I had almost forgot about these. Lol. Thanks for the compliments guys.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky. -
