Why this recipe works
What is sous vide? It’s a method of cooking in which you vacuum seal the food then immerse it in warm water at a low temperature, over a long stretch of time. These sous video pork chops come out crazy juicy and oh-so-tender when cooked low and slow in a water bath. Follow it up with a kitchen torch for a gorgeous exterior crust, or pop it in a pan for a quick sear.
While we’ll always love a classic grilled pork chop or baked pork chop, the sous vide method truly provides you with the juiciest chop out of the bunch. In our opinion, it’s worth the extra time and equipment if you’re looking to experiment with the ways you cook a good pork chop.

Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions
PORK – We are using bone-in pork chops, but you can use boneless if desired. We are setting our precision cooker to 140F, which will yield medium doneness whether your chop is bone-in or boneless. Cooking the pork chops at 140F does not necessarily mean that will be the temperature of the meat when it’s completely done, keep in mind that you will be searing them either using a kitchen torch, a skillet, or the grill, which will continue to raise the temperature of the pork.

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips
Instead of a kitchen torch, you can simply sear the sous vide pork chops in a hot skillet with some olive oil or butter. You will want the pan hot so that you can sear it quickly. The pork chops are already cooked, so if you take too long to sear them then they can begin to dry out. You can also give them a quick sear on the grill.
