Sous Vide Sausage??

[Snarlingiron]

A friend and coworker of mine that I turned on to Sous Vide cooking sent me this link. I'm gonna try it on some of me recently made sausage.

I gotta say I'd have to look up the curves..but 140 for 45 mins...seems like that's pushing it for ground meat?

Not following you Rich, too high? Too long? What?

I think he's saying the low temp and short time don't allow the center to be cooked to a safe level.

Ahhh...I'm following now. Yeah I agree. I was thinking about a longer cook. I recently made Cholent loosely based on this recipe.

I couldn't find faro, so it didn't get that and I reviewed quite a number of recipes that included lining the bottom of the dutch oven with sliced potatoes, so I did that. Bottom line the sausage cooked at 350 for about 3 hours and it was delicious. I really changed the texture, so I'm thinking a long sous vide cook will be a good thing.

There are curves for time Vs temp for safe sous vide cooking. Hmm can't seem to find one for ground meat tho. Depending on size/mass of sausage, I'd have to think 140 for 45 mins is on the edge of saftey.

Mark R...you got a ground meat chart?

so you fry it after anyway.

Why not simply fry it to temp - like I do ?

Cuts out all the vaccing and sousviding and you get your sausage am hour or two sooner.

Some things just don't need slow cooking in a water bath :-)

I may try it. My wife can cook store bought sausage OK but when it comes to the stuff I make she tends to stop cooking it when the It is in the 180- to 200 range for 30 min or so.... Maybe she is trying to tell me i should be home when it is done I don't know.

I like sausages cooked sv. It changes the texture. I do them 150 for 2-4 hours. They are much more juicy than straight up grilling.

Thanks squirrel, I was hoping for this kind of feedback. Of course, if anyone would have tried it, it would be you. Kudos.
