What is Sous Vide Cooking?

Sous vide is a cooking technique where food is vacuum-sealed in a bag and then cooked in a very precise temperature using an immersion circulator in a water bath. It results in perfectly cooked food every single time.

The technique has been used for years in high-end restaurants but is also really accessible to home cooks thanks to a number of affordable and easy-to-use sous vide precision cooking equipment.

Sous vide cooking is really simple:

1. Attach your sous vide precision cooker to a pot of water and set the time and exact temperature according to your desired level of doneness.

2. Put your food in a sealable bag and clip it to the side of the sous vide bath with the immersion cooker.

3. Finish by searing, grilling, or broiling the food – we want to put the maillard reaction to work and finish the chicken off for the best flavor possible. For this recipe we give the chicken a quick sear.

What Equipment Do I Need to Cook Sous Vide?

Getting started with sous vide cooking is easy and affordable thanks to the recent availability of sous vide devices built for the home cook. These are the products I use, love and recommend:

  • A sous vide precision cooking device – Obviously a sous vide device is the most important part of this technique as it provides the precise temperature control and heat. We love and use our Anova precision cooker.
  • Packaging for your food, like resealable bags or canning jars. If you use a sous vide bag or ziploc bags, most do not require a vacuum sealer. Vacuum seal bags will require a vacuum sealer.
  • A container to hold the sous vide water bath and sous vide cooker, like a large pot or storage container.
  • You will probably also want a cast iron skillet for finishing the chops.

Heat two tablespoons olive oil in a cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add the chops. Pan sear the chops on each side until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the cooked chops from heat and rest for 5 minutes before serving with the roasted apples, fennel, and red onion, Enjoy!

FAQs

How long does it take to sous vide bone-in pork chops? ›

Cook the pork sous vide: Once the water has come to temperature, submerge the sealed bag of pork chops. Make sure the bag is completely submerged, otherwise the pork will not cook evenly. Cook for 1 hour if the chops are bone-in and under an inch thick, or if you're cooking boneless pork chops.

What is the best temperature to cook bone-in pork chops at? ›

As a general rule of thumb, plan on 7 to 8 minutes per 1/2 inch of thickness for pork chops baked at 400 degrees F.

What temperature for pork chop bone-in sous vide? ›

For a pork chop, you'll want to cook it at between 135°F (57°C) and 140°F (60°C) for a minimum of 45 minutes to cook it through to the center, and up to four hours (much longer than that and it'll start to get a little soft due to enzymatic breakdown of tissues).

What is the best thickness for sous vide pork chops? ›

For this recipe, I've used huge French-cut bone-in pork chops that are about 1 1/2 inches thick. Use this setting for a medium rare meat temperature. This setting and times work just as well with smaller thinner cuts too! The best part about using a sous vide machine is it allows you to cook with confidence.

What temperature is medium rare for bone in pork chops? ›

At 145°F, the meat will be medium-rare and still a bit pink. Medium-rare pork is your juiciest option, but if you prefer your pork more cooked, just leave it on the heat a little bit longer. Medium is between 150°F and 155°F, medium-well is in the 155°F to 160°F range, and anything over 160°F is well-done.

Does bone in pork chops cook faster? ›

They take a little longer to cook than boneless chops, but in my experience, they are another way of ensuring tender cooked pork chops. And by “a littler longer to cook,” I'm really only talking about a few minutes. It won't make a huge difference to your meal prep.

Should pork chops be 145 or 165? ›

Cook all raw pork steaks, chops, and roasts to a minimum internal temperature of 145°F (62.8 °C) as measured with a food thermometer before removing meat from the heat source.

From a safety perspective, as long as you cook it long enough to pasteurize it, 135°F (57.2°C) is just as safe as 165°F (73.8°C). My favorite temperature for sous vide pork is 140°F (60°C), though I sometimes cook it lower when I want to put a solid sear on it.

Should you season pork before or after sous vide? ›

Many people prefer the unsalted, slightly moister meat so they refrain from salting until after the meat has been cooked sous vide. The difference between the two methods is very minor and you can't go wrong either way. I suggest trying it both ways and see what you personally prefer.

Can you sous vide in a Ziploc bag? ›

Ziplock and Glad brand bags are made from polyethylene plastic, and are free of BPAs and dioxins. A good rule of thumb is that when a bag is rated as microwave safe (which requires FDA approval) you can use it for sous vide. Even Dr. Schaffner agrees.

How do you keep bone-in pork chops from drying out? ›

Try a Marinade or Brine. A marinade or brine can introduce more moisture or lots of flavor into your meat before you cook it. A marinade is a sauce that introduces extra flavor to your pork, depending on the aromatics or herbs you choose to include. A brine pulls more moisture into the meat, which keeps your pork juicy ...

Why do bone-in pork chops taste better? ›

Here are the perks of bone-in chops: Fuller flavor. Because these cuts are slightly fattier than their boneless alternatives, they tend to be a little richer in flavor. The fat in the cut can also help prevent the chops from drying out as they cook.

From a safety perspective, as long as you cook it long enough to pasteurize it, 135°F (57.2°C) is just as safe as 165°F (73.8°C).

Can you sous vide pork too long? ›

And because your sous vide machine will be set to the exact temperature that you want the food to reach, you know it'll never go above this point and overcook. You just need to make sure that you're cooking your ingredients at the ideal temperature, which you can work out using our Sous Vide Cooking Time Calculator.

At 185°F / 85°C pork will take about 8 hours (or even a little less) to tenderize. The texture is very similar to traditional carnitas. Easily shreddable and reasonably moist. (I used to think standard carnitas were incredibly moist until I tried sous vide carnitas).
