Has anyone Sous Vide Pork Belly, I have a 3# slab and want to SV it, any thoughts on this cooking technique from the following, or your own experience?

I prefer it in the oven, smoker or on the grill. I think it needs to be able to crisp up on the outside. What seasoning profile? Would you leave it plain or season it? I just made 10 Lbs of bacon from a pork belly using a maple cure and smoked with pecan wood. I was eating the rind as fast as I could trim it of the slab...

I've prepped them. We'll finish and post pic's tomorrow.

The 12hr 140F Sous Vide appears to have cooked them perfectly without rendering any excess fat. It will be interesting to see if they retain their size once they are put to the heat.

Are you looking for an internal temperature as well, like 170 Degrees?

No, why? 140 is fine for pork products.

I was just wondering if you look at internal temp as a criteria of when it is ready, or do you decide by cooking time?

The beef I grill, I use a thermometer to know if the meat is rare, medium ,or well done.

I believe that Chef Penn cooked it in a sous vide water oven, so the time is pretty much irrelevant (unless it's a tough cut of meat) and the temperature will be exact.

The only time I use a thermometer is when cooking large cuts of beef or large birds.
