Stuffed Mangalitsa Pork Neck Roll

This blog made my mouth water.  Mangalitsa pork is hands down the most succulent, flavorful, delicious, let-the-grease-drip-down-your-chin meat imaginable.  The recipe presented in this blog is for a traditionally oven-roasted preparation, seeking an internal temperature of 145F.  And that got me to thinking how delicious this baby would be cooked sous vide. The stuffing is already sauteed before being put into the pocket, so there won’t be a temperature issue from the sous vide standpoint–i.e.,  being low enough not to overcook the meat and hot enough to cook the vegetables–at the desired final internal temperature of 145F.  Cooking time, of … Read More

And we think good nutrition (and maybe a hair of the dog) is just the ticket to dispel the hangover of the indulgences of the night (or week) before. Some quality protein … Read More

SousVide and Bison: A Marriage Made in Heaven

There’s nothing so meaty and luscious as a chunk of American Bison and likewise nothing so easy to overcook and make tough.  Bison isn’t just ‘wooly beef’ and it can’t (or at least shouldn’t) be handled the same way as beef in cooking, particularly when it comes to aggressive high temperature traditional culinary techniques, such as roasting and grilling. Ah, but with the gentle precision of sous vide, anyone can bring out the best in bison–tender and juicy, even when cooked rare or medium rare–without fail!
