FAQ
What temperature for sous vide pineapple?
140°F (60°C) for 30-40 minutes — tender and sweet, acid mellowed.
Can I grill it after?
Yes — pat dry and grill 2-3 minutes per side; the sous vide step guarantees tenderness first.
Does heat ruin pineapple's enzymes?
Yes — that's a feature here: gentle heat deactivates bromelain, so it stops being a meat tenderizer and tastes sweeter.
