MacKenzie Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 These chops are nice and large Seasoned with granulated garlic and black pepper. Vacuumed sealed and ready for 4-5 hours in the 139.5F water bath depending upon when the rest of the dinner is ready:) Dinner is served- Interior of chop-
tony b Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 Excellent. I assume you'll do a quick sear on the KK when done? Let us know how they come out.
MacKenzie Posted March 21, 2015 Author Report Posted March 21, 2015 tony, I'd like to do a fast sear on the KK but Dennis hasn't sent it to me yet I'm deciding just how I will sear, maybe in a de Buyer pan or in the le Creuset panini pan if I decide grill marks would be best. Stay tuned
tony b Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 De Buyer pan - you totally rock!!! Love mine! I use them for all my sauteing, frying, except for my Swiss Diamond pan for eggs/omelets.
ckreef Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 Nice looking meal. Having pork chops tonight also.
MacKenzie Posted March 21, 2015 Author Report Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks,ckreef, are you grilling or doing SV?
CeramicChef Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 MacKenzie - first off, Welcome to the KK Club! Always like seeing a new KK go to a wonderful home! Congrats! Second, those are some really nice chops! Here's to a great meal. Ok, I'll admit, I'm an infidel. What the Sam Billie Heck is a De Buyer pan? I've never heard of such a thing. But then I have lived in Oklahoma and Texas most of my life .... LOL!
MacKenzie Posted March 21, 2015 Author Report Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks, CC:) de Buyer pan are steel pans that heat quickly and evenly and once seasoned are stick free. They are made from 99% iron, de Buyer Mineral pots and pans don't have any chemicals or coatings. Do a web search and you will quickly see what all the fuss is about:) They are beautiful and easily seasoned. 1
ckreef Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 Thanks,ckreef, are you grilling or doing SV? Reverse searing a 2" bone in chop with sweet potatoes. On the kamado as I type this - almost ready for the Sear phase. I don't have a SV.
MacKenzie Posted March 22, 2015 Author Report Posted March 22, 2015 ckreef, sounds delicious:) I hope you are able to post pixs:)
ckreef Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 ckreef, sounds delicious:) I hope you are able to post pixs:) Not the best pictures but here goes (I hope you don't mind I post them in your thread) Low-n-slow phase. Sear phase. At a full 2" it really is a monster chop. Sweet Potato and spiced apple rings. Nice simple cook after a long day.
MacKenzie Posted March 22, 2015 Author Report Posted March 22, 2015 Those apples sure are eye catchers also:-)
GoFrogs91 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 Nice pork gents. Well done. Does it feel like you are waiting for Christmas that will never come? After the order is the hardest part. Ck is going to get a quicker resolution due to ordering from stateside stock. To make you feel better, Wilbur's got all the way to the LA port and a fire delayed his delivery. When mine arrived at the house, sigh, wrong color. Had to go back and the replacement took a couple of weeks. Dennis fixed it, as always, but man was that painful to stare at a 23" in the driveway and know you can't open it. Soon boys. Soon.
ckreef Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 Those apples sure are eye catchers also:-) Funny story - I was going to go with sweet potatoes and carrots. Mrs skreef informed me that orange and orange would not look right for a plated picture. She is the one who picked the spiced apple rings. I guess I have the family won over when they are composing the plated picture and we haven't even left the grocery store yet - LOL
tony b Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 We call those "Iowa Chops" here. They are at least 1 1/2" thick, often thicker. Regular item at the butcher's counter. I pick'em up when they go on sale, usually once/month. Like I've said before, "It's great to live where the pigs are!" Hey CC, I can't say enough great things about De Buyer pans. You should get one and check it out. I got all mine at Cooks Catalog. http://www.chefscatalog.com/product/25200-de-buyer-mineral-fry-pan.aspx
MacKenzie Posted March 22, 2015 Author Report Posted March 22, 2015 Your wife picked it just right:) I have a question for you how do you get the pixs that size to show on this page? What size are you uploading? Thanks:)
CeramicChef Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 ckreef - as usual, dynamite cook! That is a killer money shot! Kudos to you on this cook!
CeramicChef Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 tony - nice cook on those chops. Pass the potatoes and I'll sit down and join you. Oh, and BTW, thanks of the invite! And thanks for the pointer to De Buyer pans. I'll take a look.
ckreef Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 Your wife picked it just right:) I have a question for you how do you get the pixs that size to show on this page? What size are you uploading? Thanks:) For most pictures I crop them down to what I want to see then resize them to 1024 x ??? For the money shot I do the same but resize to 2048 x ??? - just so I loose no detail if somebody looks at the money shot on a large high end monitor. Also by keeping those standard width dimensions all the pictures space the same left to right when viewed through a forum.
