One word of caution, you may need to weigh down the bags more than usual because frozen pork can float. It generally adds about 50% to the cooking time, and I have values in my sous vide time and temperature charts. Yup! I often season, seal and freeze my pork chops and just toss them directly into the sous vide. The meat is from various areas including loin, tenderloin and sirloin and is best when tenderized for a while, usually sous vide sirloin chops are best after 6 to 12 hours depending on the ratios of meat. Sirloin chops come from the hip area of the loin and have more bone than most chops. They are also the only chops that are often braised, so you can use braise-like temperatures on them as well.

Sous vide blade chops are full of flavor, but are tough and are best when tenderized for at least 8 to 12 hours. They are normally fatty, with connective tissue and often bone in them. Not surprisingly, these come from the shoulder of the pig. I usually prefer sous vide rib chops tenderized for 5 to 8 hours, though they are ok just heated through. They are fattier and have more connective tissue than some chops and can benefit from longer sous vide times. The fat cap is also usually attached on one side. They often have a large portion of loin meat, with almost no tenderloin. Rib Chop and Rib End ChopĬoming from the rib section of loin, these ribs often are bone-in with baby back ribs attached to them. The boneless is usually mostly loin with a small tail of tenderloin, while the bone-in can have more of a mix. Pork loin chops come either bone in, or boneless. Because of the large amount of loin, they are generally very mild and only need to be heated through or pasteurized, usually sous vide pork loin chops are great after 2 to 4 hours. These chops come from the back of the loin and the meat is split between the tenderloin and the loin, though top loin chops will not have any tenderloin. The main types of pork chops are: loin chops, rib chops, shoulder chops and blade chops, and sirloin chops. To me, the rib chop and the boneless loin chops look like "regular" pork chops. Even most of the tough ones are usually pretty good just heated through, though they definitely benefit from longer times to tenderize them. Some pork chops are very tender and others start to become tough. They are similar to a t-bone or porterhouse steak from a cow. I usually cook mine at 140☏ (60☌), it's still very tender but most of the pink is now gone.Įven though most people think of a "pork chop" as being a single cut of pork, there are actually several different types of chops, all cut from various sections of the pork loin. They will turn out great anywhere in that range, depending on your preference. The normal range is from 135☏ to 149☏ (57.2☌ to 65☌) and ranges from medium rare to well done. Not surprisingly, sous vide pork chops do best at the standard chop-like sous vide temperatures.
For the ones that are less tender, like sous vide blade chops or sous vide rib chops, a longer cooking time can be used to tenderize them with sous vide.Ĭooking pork chops with sous vide is a pretty forgiving process, so an extra few hours won't make much of a difference in the taste of the final dish. This is usually 2 to 4 hours to fully cook the pork chops.īeyond safety, there are several different cuts of pork chops. However, I often like to use sous vide to pasteurize my pork chops, which typically just entails an extra 15 to 30 minutes, which is usually a tradeoff I'm willing to make to ensure my food is completely safe to eat. To be ready to eat, they just need to be heated through, which means that you can use the charts from Sous Vide Cooking Times by Thickness or our Sous Vide Timing Ruler. How long to cook pork chops depends on the thickness of them. Using sous vide allows me to heat them at a lower temperature than using traditional methods, resulting in a moist and tender chop, something that is so hard to do using traditional methods. Sous vide pork chops are some of my favorite dishes to make.
