FWIW, I just tried short ribs. According to the waiter at Ma Peche, where I've had the best ones I've ever tasted, they do them there at 143F for 36 hours.

He's a liar. Either they did them at a higher temp or for a longer cook because these came out like steak. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I was hoping to get to the fork-tender succulence of the ones as the restaurant.

So not as successful an outcome as I wanted, but they were still damned good with a port-wine reduction and pan-roasted rosemary/garlic taters.



What I'm thinking is that further experimentation is definitely called for.

Here are results of different temps/times on short ribs, you can see which one you are going for and try that:

You can try the cooler method for short cooks, like for a steak or eggs. It requires some fiddling but then you can get a sense for the idea of some of the results of this method of cooking.
