I’ll cut straight to the point with this one. If you’ve Googled “Sous Vide Ox Cheek”, the numbers you’re interested in are: 75c for 20 hours.

Nothing to worry about here though – is there ever a time when you don’t fancy eating a rack of Sous Vide Ribs? I think not. The process was made possible by cooking the ribs at a low temperature in the SousVide Supreme.
