    Quick question.

    Great help!!! Thank you! I am cooking pork. Cured. It is smoked at 175f to internal 130f. Afterwards its vacuumed and sous vide at 175f till internal temp 150f. Last time i did that there were some liquid inside vacuum bag. I want to avoid it by lowering temp and extending cooking time.

    Quick question.

    If i want internal temp of vacuumed meat 150f, can I set my device temperature at 155f and leave it cooking overnight? Will 10-12 hours be enough to reach 150f at 155f set temp?
