24 Hour Chuck Steak (bad smell)
In the General Sous Vide Questions Forum
Hi,
I started by chopping chuck steak -> i then sous vide, chilled it, and dropped into immersion circulator. At 132F for 24hours. I then chilled again. Basically all was prepared as it should be - or at least I thought I did. However after cooking the bag was swollen and gave off a horrible smell.
Did I do anything wrong? I read that keeping the meat whole may help with killing any bacteria?!
Thanks!
Steve

Interesting, it doesn't sound like you did anything wrong, as long as you quickly chilled it in a 1/2 ice - 1/2 water bath. Cutting it first shouldn't make a difference with bacteria above 131F and for that amount of time.
Sorry I don't have an answer but it sounds like it should have worked fine.
