Thanks for pointing ot my error, it should be 140, i will edit it

I place in a vacuum bag and used my sous vide circulator.

Finished the pastrami today, 11 days making corn beef, cleaned and seasoned, then smoked for 4 hours at 250. Bagged and sous vide for 48 hours at 140. Tastes fantastic. Made some dressing that is a cross betwen russian and thousand island, marbled rye, sauerkraut soaked in homemade ale with...

i cut a brisket in half (brined one for corn beef and smoked into pastrami) and one for smoked brisket. I seasoned it Texas style, just salt and pepper. Smoked it for 6 hours at 260 with apple chips. Took it off and bagged it for sous vide at 155 for 24 hours. I know this is backwards to most...

My Pancetta has been in the Umai bags for 9 weeks and I have 17% weight loss. At some point, I will open one and use it for cooking and save the other for charcuterie.

I’ve heard, but can’t confirm, that it is bad on the sous vide appliance.

The great thing about sous vide, when it reaches temperature, it won’t go higher.

I vacume pack 4 to a bag. You can put one in a zip lock bag and check the temp on that one.

As a follow-up, my next batch i went with high temp cheese. I'm now converted to this method. Still smoked them before the sous vide for 3 hours and then 2 hours of sous vide at 150.

thanks for the heads up. I bought one yesterday.

This picture was taken 2 hours after being in the refrigerator

I just finished a batch of summer sausage with Sous Vide to keep the regular cheddar cheese from melting. After smoking on apple wood for 3 hours, I finished with 2 hours of Sous Vide at 145F.

When i have a sausage recipe without curing salt, how mush do I reduce the kosher salt. For 5#, it calls for 2 Tbsp kosher salt. So I'm adding 1 tspn pink salt but don't want to add the full amount of Kosher.

Thanks for the welcome. I bought my truck in Whitehouse. Pretty close indeed.
