The brisket turned out amazing, ended up in there for about 50 hours at 133*, followed by about 4 minutes per side under the broiler. In the bag was the brisket with salt and pepper, the smoked pearl onions/sliced garlic and a few pads of butter to keep things lubricated. I sliced it up about 1/2 inch thick after it came out of the broiler, but for eating there was no need for a knife, a fork cut through it no problem. There wasn't much of a noticeable smokey taste, which wasn't completely unexpected, the smoking gun just doesn't impart flavor the way I'd like. I will definitely be cooking brisket this time/temp again

Very nice, Ben. The slices look a little like corned beef.

Doing a 5lb leg of lamb today.
Simple Rosemary, garlic, salt & pepper seasoning.

When I did a leg a few months back it was one of the best things I've ever cooked. I cooked mine for 25 hours at 131*, then another half hour in the oven at 450*. I'm curious how a shorter cook time will turn out

12 hours into a cook of pork tongues destined to be in tacos for tomorrow's dinner. Got about 2.5lbs of tongue, a couple shallots, cloves of garlic, tomatoes, chipotles, pinch of cumin and Mexican oregano and a couple teaspoons of pork fat.

Will peel the tongues when finished and then chop. The liquid will be strained, then puréed to be added back to the tongue pieces as they lightly fry to crisp up.

Here you go, the money shot. Cooked for 28 hours at 170°F. Super tender. I used the Serious Eats recipe, with a few mods.

Something I've never said before, but that tongue looks delicious

Took a 2LB tri-ip out yesterday and rubbed it down with some chimichurri sauce and vac sealed, the plan was to cook it overnight and leave in the fridge today to reheat/sear for dinner, but I completely forgot to put it in at night. Decided to just let it cook all day while I'm at work, I usually cook tri-tip at 130* for 6 hours, I've done it for 3 before when we were rushed into an early dinner and it was noticeably tougher, interested to see how 10-11 hours treats it.

Also up this week are some "smoked" pork loin chops, bagged those up last night and am very excited to cook them later this week. I'll definitely be posting up pictures and results of that one

Steak came out fine, no real noticeable difference from 6 to 10 hours, definitely not like when it was shorted 3 hours. I'll stick with 6 but not worry too much if it goes over in the future

"smoked" pork chops up tonight

Pork chops last night were a success. Up until a few months ago I've never in my life liked pork chops, I always thought of them as "weird steak" and so tough they needed oodles of gravy, which I'm not a huge fan of anyways unless it's thanksgiving. I've only made them once so far in the SV and they were the best I've ever had, but still had room for improvement.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, Adam (TG) sent me a big bag of smoked dried onions to play around with, smoked for 16 hours turning 5LB of onions into one mostly-full gallon ziplock. The smell from this bag is intoxicating, in the most delicious of ways. This was my first try at cooking with these, I had no idea how much to use so I cut up a bigger 2LB pork loin into individual chops, salt and pepper then took out 1/4 C of the onions (wish I had weighed it, next time). I also smashed up a few cloves of roasted garlic I had left over from a head I cooked up to make some brie dip last weekend. Put all of these in the vac bag then let it sit for a few days (I knew I wouldn't have time to prep day-of). Last night I let them cook for 2 hours at 140*, then remove the onions and garlic and pat them dry and put under the broiler at 500* for about 3 minutes per side. Most of them got an herb butter parm mix slathered on top, but I did keep one as-is for control.

These were the new best pork chops I've ever had. The smokey onion taste permeated through all of the pork, not just the sections with direct contact. The one without the herb butter had the most noticeable up-front smokey flavor, however the rest with the butter were divine - the smoke was not overpowering and was truly a compliment to the porky goodness and the buttery goodness. I will call this a success, I think the 1/4 C was the right amount of onions for this amount of meat. I think the sear could have been done better, I don't know if I just cut them unevenly but the broiler didn't get as even of a burn as it usually does, next time I'll use a cast iron or really hot grill. Next up will be some sort of steak with these, I'll post an update when I get a chance to play around more. Thanks Adam!
