Anyone sous vide a 2 inch pork chop? Going to try my luck with one this weekend using my anova. I like the cooler idea.

I haven't done a 2" pork chop in sous vide, have have done a 2" NY strip... it turned out fantastic.

The cooler I already had on hand, I use it to mash grain for home brewing, so I figured I could use it to sous vide also..

Its insulated.. the circulator doesn't cycle as, often to maintain temp.. With the lid on you don't lose water during long cooks...

Tourtière with mashed potato.

Old French Canadian dish that is traditionaly serve during the 'Réveillon" (late meal on Christmas eve).

Lots of different versions, venison and meat are the most popular. My wife (the Anglo in the family :)) does an excellent meat mix version; Beef, Pork and Veal which is my preferred version.

Usually top with gravy or ketchup.

My homage to Howard's Famous Bacon & Avocado Burgers in LA. Happened upon this little place years ago, good burgers, felt like I was transported to early 70s California. If I could ever travel back in time, it would be to 50s-70s California. I'd spend the rest of life there and then.

Burger, cheddar, bacon, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, butter-griddled bun. Should have worn latex gloves while eating. So tasty!

This turned out better than expected. And could be better still with a carror-rice wine vinegar salad on top of it all.
