Cooked my First Steak - It was overcooked

Yes, to shock chill just drop the bag into an ice bath. Water, ice and salt will give you the best result, but as youā€™re only really looked to cool the outside a bit, cold water will do.

Hi I received my Anova yesterday and my first attempt at using it was overcooked. I followed the recipe in the app for Pork Chop to the letter. I set the temp at 140f for 1 hour. It was supposed to be pink, but was def overcooked. I also used my cooking thermometer, which showed the water was several degrees hotter than the set point. I wasnā€™t sure which was accurate at the time but now think it was the thermometer. In future I will check and adjust the temp down.

135F will give you lovely pink pork. But if you can check the water bath with a second thermometer and still find that itā€™s over temperature Iā€™d contact Support.
