Our Process

1. Preheat your sous vide cooker to 165°F (74°C).
2. Place the frozen BBQ meats in our vacuum-sealed bag or a high-quality, freezer-safe zip-lock bag. Make sure the bag is properly sealed.
3. Submerge the bagged meat completely in the water bath.
4. Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the thickness of the meat. Thinner cuts (like ribs) may take 1.5 hours, while thicker cuts (like brisket) may need the full 2 hours.
5. Remove from the bag, pat dry if necessary, and finish on a hot grill or skillet for 2–3 minutes per side to refresh the bark.
6. Serve hot and enjoy that perfectly tender BBQ!

Alternative Method: Oven  (traditional or convection)

1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
2. Place the frozen BBQ meats in a foil-covered baking dish. Add a small amount of water or broth to the bottom of the dish to keep the meat moist.
3. Cover tightly with aluminum foil to lock in moisture.
4. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the thickness of the meat.
5. Remove the foil and broil for 2–3 minutes to crisp up the exterior, if desired.
6. Serve hot and enjoy!

(Quickest Method): Microwave

1. Place the frozen BBQ meats on a microwave-safe plate.
2. Cover with a damp paper towel to retain moisture.
3. Set the microwave to 50% power (medium heat).
4. Heat in 2-minute intervals, flipping the meat and checking for warmth after each interval.
5. Continue heating until thoroughly warmed, approximately 6–8 minutes depending on thickness.
6. Let it rest for 1–2 minutes before serving.

Stovetop (Great for thawed Carolina-Style Chopped Pork)

1. Thaw meat fully
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat Check out our preferred non-stick pans here Amazon link
3. Add a splash of broth or BBQ juices from the bag
4. Add the BBQ meat and cover with a lid.
5. Stir occasionally and heat for 5–7 minutes or until warmed through.

Pro Tip : Use a lid to trap steam and prevent drying out.
