Time to say goodbye to the days of dry pork, and hello to pork cooked exactly how you want it. In this recipe, we will walk you through everything you need to know to make the best pork loin chops of your life. From selecting a perfect time and temperature, to whether you should use bone in or boneless pork chops, this recipe has it all. Bone in or Boneless Pork Chops? The first step is determining whether you should purchase bone in or boneless pork chops for this recipe.
The quick answer, either cut will result in tender, juicy meat. Also, either can be used interchangeably for most sous vide recipes. That being said, we prefer using bone-in pork chops. They tend to be juicer and more flavorful, and the meat around the bone is to die for. Packaging An essential part of cooking sous vide is putting ingredients in an air-tight bag or container.
The two most common techniques to package your ingredients are vacuum sealing and using the water displacement method. A vacuum sealer removes all the air and seals the contents of a plastic bag through a vacuum. This process ensures the food is airtight and properly sealed, and prevents the bag from floating which can result in uneven cooking. If you are in the market for a vacuum sealer, I’d recommend the Anova sealer. The displacement method is a technique where you first place your food and marinades in a sous vide bag, submerge the bag in a container of water, and allow the pressure to force all the air out of the bag.
Either method works for pork chops. Note that if you are adding a marinade in the bag, please make sure your vacuum sealer is capable of sealing liquids. If not, please use the displacement method. Time and Temperature The time and temperature guide below is the product of years of extensive testing, and will take the guesswork out of cooking sous vide. Simply select a temperature based on your desired doneness, then determine the length of the cook based on the thickness of the protein. Cooking the meat for this duration achieves a perfectly juicy, tender chop.
Also, cooking them at a temperature of 136F ensures that the pork is a beautiful medium rare with great texture. Although this combination of time and temperature is our favorite, we recommend you explore different combinations to find your personal favorite.
