i would start with the chef steps short ribs. super easy and you can do a small portion with different times and temperatures to see what your preferences are. It's also one of those meats that just blows you away compared to normal preparation.

I’d do chicken breasts, pork tenderloin/loin/chop, or tuna. Just because you don’t have to wait 2 days.

After that I’d do short ribs, brisket, fried chicken, spare ribs.

Granted you don’t have to wait 2 days for fried chicken, just a little more work than the others.

Anyone that’s done lots of short rib, is 72h the best, and what’s your fav temp for 24h?

It depends on whether you want steaky ribs or briskety ribs.

Somebody link the chefsteps beef rib link with video.

I LOVE the 24 hours version at 70C, the 72 hour version I only make if i'm trying to be indulgent. Even though its almost all hands off, its still a lot of patience and commitment to wait 3 days, and if you use your SV almost every day, you're tying up the unit from not making something else.

El D's list is great, I do most of those regularly (gonna try that char siu asap). Ones not on his list that we do are

leg of lamb: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2...ab-recipe.html (sous vide @ 131 F overnight in this rub, then sear/broil to finish)

chicken thighs: http://www.seriouseats.com/2015/07/t...ken-thigh.html (very convenient, because you can sous vide a big batch once, and then pull some out of the fridge as you go through the week so that you have dinner ready in minutes)

Spouse and I will also make a big batch of thighs or breasts in vac sealed bags and pull them out through the week. Breasts split in half on a toasted sesame bun with Dijon and smoked Gouda make quick and easy sandwiches.

i've really been enjoying some simply seasoned and seared pork chops



cooked to about 130-135 before resting. it's a little below the food safety recommendations, but it keeps it nice and juicy. am i going to get trichinosis or something?

Pasteurization time is like 2 hours at 130 and 1 hour at 135. You'll probably be fine but you might want to get a sous vide machine and use that.

Trichinosis is contracted by eating meat from an infected animal. Conventionally raised pigs in the US don't eat meat, so they rarely have it.

The trichinosis strain in pigs is killed by freezing. Pretty much all commercial pork is frozen, for this reason.

Trichinosis is killed at much lower temperatures than other common pathogens. USDA time at 136F for 7-log reduction is only 3 minutes.

And even if you somehow do manage to get trichinosis after all that, it's easily treated.


eta: checking some of this, it might be a 6 or 6.5 reduction at that time/temp

Trichinae is largely eliminated from the US commodity pork supply. The interior of most whole muscles is safe from bacterial contamination too. So if the outside is nice and hot it's probably safe.

Pork loin sous vide, like chicken breast, is one of the applications where it really shines.

Yeah, don't think I mentioned I made loin chops the other day. Coated with salt, brown sugar, ground coriander cilantro, SV for 1.5 hours at 135, seared. They were awesome.
