Sous Vide Pork Chop
Pork chop dishes are some of my favorites to make, and recently I have been experimenting with using a sous vide machine. If you’ve ever made pork, then you know how vital it is to cook it to just the right temperature so it’s moist and tender and not dried out… and how difficult that can be!
Using a sous vide cooker changes everything. I am obsessed with this gadget! It makes it impossible to overcook your pork and is totally hands-free until it’s done and ready to sear. Once I tried cooking sous vide boneless pork chops, I knew I could never go back.
I know you’re going to love this recipe. Pork chop recipes are always a winner at my house when it comes to easy weeknight meals.
I could not believe how juicy my pork chops turned out using the sous vide method! Love this recipe.

Sous vide cookers are also known as precision cookers or immersion cookers.
All you do is attach the machine to a pot of water, select the time and temperature, and then place your food in a sealed bag in the pot of water to cook. It is the easiest and best way to cook pork!

Tips for Pork Chops in Sous Vide
- Thickness Matters: Choose pork chops around 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
- Season Before Sealing: Season chops well. You want that seasoning to intensify during cooking time.
- Cooking Temperature: Aim for 135°F to 145°F (57°C to 63°C) for tender, juicy results.
- Sear for Flavor: Finish with a quick sear in a hot skillet or grill.
- Rest Before Serving: Let chops rest a few minutes after searing for juicier meat.
Pork Chop Temps
Pork Chop Cut | Internal Temperature |
---|---|
Boneless Pork Chops | 145°F |
Bone-in Pork Chops | 145°F |
Regardless of the cooking method, both bone-in and boneless pork chops require an internal temperature of 145°F to be cooked through. Although the standard used to be higher, you are over-cooking your pork if you cook it further than 145°F.
I always refer to my Pork Chop Temperature Chart.
Storing Sous Vide Pork Chops
- After cooking your pork chops sous vide, remove them from the water bath. b. Take the pork chops out of the vacuum-sealed bags and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Let the pork chops cool to room temperature for a short period, about 15-20 minutes.
- Refrigeration: If you plan to use them within a few days, you can store the pork chops in the refrigerator. Place them in an airtight container or resealable bags and refrigerate them at or below 40°F (4°C).
- Freezing: If you want to store them for an extended period, consider freezing the pork chops. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Be sure to label them with the date.
How to Reheat Pork Chops
Oven:
- Place pork chops on a baking sheet, cover with foil.
- Reheat for 10-15 minutes.
Microwave:
- Place pork chops on a microwave-safe dish, and cover with a microwave-safe cover or paper towel.
- Microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes, flipping halfway.
Stovetop:
- Heat skillet over medium heat, add oil or butter.
- Cook pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Optionally, add liquid and cover with a lid to prevent drying.
Sous Vide Pork Chops FAQs
They can stay in the water bath for up to 4 hours and will not overcook. They will stay at the same temperature throughout. That’s the magic of sous vide!
The only chance of overcooking is if you sear for too long or if the temperature is set too high. Following our instructions, you will never overcook it using this method!
Yes, you can! You can follow the same instructions and sous vide bone-in pork chops if you prefer, with no changes to the recipe.

Sous vide the pork chops for 1:30 minutes if you are cooking them frozen.
