I used half of a pork shoulder for Indian food earlier in the week, so I decided to take the other half and give a go cooking it sous vide style. The plan was to put it in the bath for a long while and then throw it on the smoker for a couple of hours to develop some bark. It had been in the water bath for about 12 hours so I got the pit lit and was getting ready to transfer it when I realized disaster had struck. The seal on my bag had popped, and the thing was completely waterlogged. I tried putting it on the pit anyway to see if I could salvage it since it was already fired up, but the texture was pretty much destroyed.
The lesson here? Make triple and quadruple sure those bags are sealed tight!
