Vacuum Sealing for Grill Masters

Vacuum sealing is a technique that involves removing air from a bag or container to create a tight seal around the food. This process has several benefits, particularly for grilling:

Locking in Flavors and Marinades : When vacuum sealing meats with marinades, the lack of air pressure allows the marinade to infuse more thoroughly, enhancing the overall flavor profile. Marinated vegetables can caramelize more effectively when grilled, as well.
Maintaining Juiciness and Texture : Vacuum sealing helps retain the natural moisture of the food, preventing it from drying out during storage and grilling. This results in a juicier and more tender final product.
Extending Shelf Life: By removing air, vacuum sealing significantly reduces the risk of bacterial growth and oxidation, which are the primary causes of spoilage. This extends the shelf life of your prepped ingredients, letting you prepare in advance without compromising quality. Vacuum sealed food remains fresh 3-5 times longer than conventional storage bags.
Waste Reduction: By preserving food for longer periods, vacuum sealing minimizes food waste. You can buy in bulk, prep large quantities, and store leftovers longer. By using vacuum sealed bags, you can measure out and seal exact portions of food, which is ideal for both home cooking and commercial use.
Sous Vide Cooking: Use vacuum-sealed bags for sous vide cooking as a precursor to grilling. Sous vide insures even cooking and perfect doneness, while grilling adds the final touch of smoky flavor and char.

Testimonial from Grill Master Matt Messer with Cotton Gin Smokers

“The VP330 Chamber Vac is a game changer in so many ways for us. We keep it on display in our BBQ store in Niles, MI. We love to use it for leftover ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. Personally, we keep brisket frozen at our home at all times. What is great is to use the sous vide to warm it back up and you do not lose any moisture.”

“Check out our Baby Back Ribs recipe, cooked to perfection in the Cotton Gin Smoker T-Bird. These ribs are packed with flavor, thanks to a blend of rubs and a hint of sweetness from honey. Follow our step-by-step instructions to create tender, smoky baby back ribs that will have your taste buds dancing!"

– Matt Messer

Ingredients:

- Baby back ribs

- Melinda's hot sauce or W Sauce (as a binder)

- Blazing Stars Scorpion Rub or Notorious PIG Hypnotizer rub

- RumRunners Capt Choice seasoning

- Honey

- Butcher paper or foil

Instructions:

Preheat your Cotton Gin Smoker Tbird to a pit temperature of 275°F (135°C).
Prepare the baby back ribs by removing the membrane from the bone side of the ribs for better flavor absorption.
Use Melinda's hot sauce or W Sauce as a binder to help the rub adhere to the ribs.
Generously apply either Blazing Stars Scorpion Rub or Notorious PIG Hypnotizer rub to the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Layer the RumRunners Capt Choice seasoning on top of the initial rub layer, adding an extra depth of flavor.
Hang the ribs in the smoker for one hour, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.
After the hour has passed, remove the ribs from the smoker and apply a drizzle of honey on top.
Wrap the ribs in butcher paper or foil tightly to create a seal, ensuring moisture retention during the cooking process.
Place the wrapped ribs back in the smoker and continue cooking for an additional 30-45 minutes.
After the specified cook time, carefully unwrap the ribs, being cautious of the hot steam inside the wrapping.
Return the unwrapped ribs to the smoker for a final 30-45 minutes, allowing the exterior to develop a nice bark.
Once the total cook time of 2.5-3 hours has elapsed, remove the ribs from the smoker. Make sure the internal temperature is at least the recommended 145°F (63°C).
Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Enjoy your delicious baby back ribs with a tantalizing blend of flavors from the rubs and the smoky goodness from the Cotton Gin Smoker T-Bird!”
