Vacuum sealed, refrigerated meats

Heat & Eat

Our smoked meats come vacuum sealed and refrigerated, so you can finish them at home in a pot of water on the stove. The method and the times for each cut are below.

Works for every cut

The Method

Fill a large stock pot with enough water to fully submerge the sealed bag, then put the bag in. Bring the burner to medium high heat until the water reaches a gentle boil.

Once it is boiling, leave the sealed bag in for another 10 to 15 minutes. Pull it out and let it rest 5 to 10 minutes, 10 for larger cuts, with the bag still sealed. Then cut the bag open and serve right away.

Keep the bag sealed the whole time. That is what holds the moisture in.

Finishing Touches

Let brisket rest for a full 10 minutes in the sealed bag so the juices redistribute before you slice it. Pulled pork needs about 5 minutes, then a stir once it is out of the bag. Turkey breast should rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

For a crisper outside, put ribs under the broiler for about a minute to caramelize, heat sausages for 5 minutes in a 250 degree oven, or crisp chicken skin at 400 degrees for 3 to 5 minutes.

Storage

Meat that is seasoned, smoked and vacuum-sealed keeps in the fridge for up to two months, as long as it stays at or below 36 degrees.
