Cherry Chipotle Pork Chops

These are the juiciest and most tender pork chops I have ever had. 




Not only that, the chipotle bbq rub and sweet cherry bbq glaze made them magic – because they disappeared quicker than David Copperfield can say Statue of Liberty. They might be magical but there was no voo doo to it, just sous-vide.


Sue Who?


Sous-vide. It's a cooking technique where food is vacuum sealed, cooked in water for a long time and then seared at the last minute for serving. Sous-vide is reputed to provide perfectly even cooking, low moisture loss (i.e. juicy meat), and tender texture. I've dabbled with a poor man's version of sous-vide. Eggheads like to do what we call “hot tubbing” steaks where you bag them and submerge them in hot water for an hour before grilling.
