How to Sous Vide Baby Back Ribs

Sous Vide Ribs Overview

Rich, smoky, and tender... ribs are such a fantastic food! My favorite combination is probably 150°F (65°C) for around 18 to 24 hours, it's shreddable but not too fall-apart. Some other popular combinations are 165°F (73.9°C) for 18 to 24 hours or 176°F (80°C) for 12 hours. For a chop-like consistency I generally prefer 140°F (60°C) for 1 to 2 days.
