    I Sense A Flaw In My Lengua Plan

    This is Ahumadora's fault.

    I bought a beef tongue yesterday and threw it in the SV bath figuring i'd crash it and then smoke it in a day or to, when I had time.

    I forgot about removing the skin, which is roughly a million times easier when it's warm. So current plan is to take it out of the SV bath, let it cool to the point i'm able to handle it with glove liners and nitriles and remove the membrane. Then re bag it, and into an ice water bath and the fridge until I can smoke it in a day or two

    Anybody see a downside to that plan?

    Sounds like a plan.

        Not everyday you get to say "Look, babe! Tongue juice!".

        Oddly, she did not seem to be impressed.

          I am going to buy 2 tongues for a bbq course this Sunday. Think about doing it Pastrami style and putting it in a brine until the weekend. Then a heavy coat of beef rub and smoke it!

            Yeah. You gotta get that skin off. I mean... just think of all the snot that skin has touched.

              I've had stuff like tongue and cheek at a local taco stand, but if I brought something like that home, the wife would probably kick me out, or at tell me to get it off her kitchen counter! . A tongue floating in a SV bath for a day or so just seems sorta crazy. Like a brain in a jar maybe, haha...

              Let us know how it works out.

                My wife isn't the biggest tongue fan, either, but i figure I can eat enough lengua tacos for the both of us.

              Sounds like a decent plan - haven't done tongue except to braise, skin, slice and fry. Let us know how it turns out.

                So, 24x155 in the hot tub and then on the floppy grate in the PBJr. while I cooked a chicken on the hangy side. Bark could be better, but I might have been a bit aggressive spritzing, so...

                I don't think this is gonna suck.

                Out of the SV bath and rubbed with the PBC Beef and Game rub.
