Pork bombs

Postby sparetimetoys » Fri Sep 08, 2017 11:44 am

We feed the Young Life kids every so often. We like to do something other than the normal pizza or tacos folks bring them. A couple weeks back I had the pleasure of meeting and doing a little assisting Kamado Joes Executive Chef Eric Gephart. One of the things he made that were out of this world was pork bombs. I made it a point to do my best to remember how this was done. It's a 15 hours of cooking process. 3 hours of low smoke then 12 hours of low heat but wrapped in plastic wrap. I never knew you could cook in the stuff until I saw him do it. Just must stay order 235 degrees. Here are some photos from the start. I'll post more as it cooks.
Thank You to all the fine folks here for all the tips and advice so I can now smoke a chunk of meat and folks actually eat it.

My probe broke so I have no way of knowing grate temp. You can't take plastic wrap over 235. So the 12 hour shift is in the oven inside.

I got called into work this morning. I'll open one up this afternoon when I get home and post some photos. They came out of the oven at 2AM and were just fine. The house smells increadable.

It's a totally different way to cook them. My friend Eric Gephart the executive chef for Kamado Joe showed me how to make these. It's a two step cook that takes 15 hours. You remove the fat cap,debone and slice a pork shoulder into equal size pieces. Season and smoke for 3 hours. Then remove them and wrap each one in plastic wrap with about a tablespoon of sauce and a shake or two of seasoning. Then they go back in the heat at 220 for 12 hours. Do not go above 235 the plastic can't take it. At the end let them rest and refrigerate. To eat put in a ziplock bag and place in hot not boiling water. Once warm remove from the plastic wrap and add sauce if you wish. They will just fall apart and are moist and unbelievably good.
Here is how he describes it.

This is a new technique. Because "sou vide" is under vacume, I have coined this method "sou dome" or Under Dome. By wrapping a high fat content meat in BPA free plastic wrap, 3 hours after seasoning/smoke then place back on the cooker for 12 hours at 220 degrees. and exessive low temp indirect grilling you subject the meat to 5 classic cooking processes.
1. The first is a dry heat method of smoking.
2. After the wrap the bag begins to puff up due to steam.
3. Soon the moisture builds up in the bag and a slight simmer begins.
4. After a while the meat is braising in the rendering liquid as the bag does not allow a stick of moisture out liquid.
5. As the collegen continues to turn to gelitan, the meat is being cooled in it's own juices and fat. Once the meat is fork tender (slightly betond), refrigerate overnight and the collegen will congeal around the meat naturally enhancing the flavor and texture. Next day bring the meat up to temp slowly. The process of cooking the meat in its own rendered far is the old.world technique of confit.

So, use a dry rub you like, a fatty price of meat like pork butt, choose your smoke, follow the method. Choose your sauce and sides.

I have sold hundred of thousands of portions of meat using this method. Enjoy
