Buying advice
1) Chops at 140°F (1-2h) — juicy, slightly pink, safe. 2) Tenderloin at 140°F (1-1.5h) — the weeknight hero. 3) Belly at 170°F (8h) — meltingly tender. 4) Ribs at 155-165°F (12-24h). 5) Pulled shoulder at 165°F (18h). Each ends with a sear or glaze.
FAQ
Is 140°F pork safe?
Yes — 140°F for 30+ minutes pasteurizes pork. The 'no pink' rule is outdated.
What's the best pork cut sous vide?
Tenderloin at 140°F — it transforms from dry to juicy with zero effort.
Do I still need to sear?
Yes — the sear adds the crust and color the bath can't.
