Sous Vide Cooking Times

Alejandro_60855

I’m new to sous vide cooking and i have a question I haven’t seen answered in any of the forums, nor any of your recipes. Do you know if there's a reference guide in which i can figure out cooking times of different cuts of meat or pork based on the size of the portions?

Let me try to explain myself: let’s say i have a beef tenderloin and i want to cook it at 60ºC. How much time should I leave it in the bag if I have 3 cm. portions, and how much time would I have to leave it if i’m going to cook the tenderloin without pre-portioning? I would guess it takes more time to cook bigger cuts, than the smaller ones.

And maybe the tenderloin example is not the most difficult to figure out because it's a lean protein, what if i’m cooking a marbled cut of meat, which i want to leave enough time, so the fat renders correctly on the inside?

I’m not sure if I’m explaining myself correctly. If you haven’t figured out by now, english is not my native language

I hope you can help me, i want to become a Sous vide master like you guys!!

Sous Vide Time & Temperature Guide

You can print it out and keep the pages in a binder (like I do), or just reference it online.

There's also this handy map of sous vide cooking. It has a sea dragon on it so it's pretty much the coolest thing ever.

If you have a iOS device then I highly recommend that you get the PolyScience Sous Vide Toolbox app. It will figure out all of your cooking times for you automatically and be your best friend as you start learning Sous Vide.

Hi, thanks for your suggestion. I want to know if you have that app, I see that it hasn't been updated since 2012, is it still the best option?

Hi Alejandro, yes, I have the original version of the app. The apps developer sold the app to PolyScience a few years ago. You will learn a lot about Sous Vide by using the app. As far as updating goes, math really never needs to be updated. They could add a few new features but that really isn't the purpose of the app. It's a really nice app and interesting to see how the food changes over time at certain temperatures. It would be great if ChefSteps could add this type of cooking calculator to their app for those of us who are interesting in learning how the cooking process works, and not just "set-it-and-forget-it".

God I really miss a well placed sea dragon. They're like the corner phone booth, you just don't see them any more...
