The Experiment: Sous-Vide Pulled Pork or: A Hungry Barista’s Lunchtime Shenanigans

April 11th, 2008 · 2 Comments

In honor of Top Chef 4 contestant Richard Blais, (who is my clear favorite for this season’s winner,) here is my play on a sous-vide application for reheating barbecued pulled pork:

A 32 oz. stainless steel steaming pitcher

A vacuum-sealed pouch of hickory smoked shredded pork shoulder

Apply sssssteam heat!

Cut open pouch with scissors.

Stir in a few tablespoons of Oklahoma Joe’s Night of the Living Barbecue Sauce.

Add a few pickles, and enjoy!

    Hi
    I do bbq pork too using a rice cooker controlled by SousVideMagic, an inexpensive temperature controller. Your idea of reheating pulled pork is brilliant.
    I use my rice cooker to regenerate my food at the temperature I want.

    Edaname,

    That sounds like a great idea… I like to use a rice cooker fitted with a stainless steel mixing bowl for making fondue. Sometimes I prep a separate bowl for a cheese course and a chocolate course, and just switch out them out when it’s time for dessert.

    My rice cooker is one of my favorite appliances…

    Thanks for the comment!
