Hello 

I would like to cook a calf's heart sous-vide. Any ideas on temperature and time? Thanks in advance... Philippe

 

 

We're a little late to the conversation, but recommend 5 hours at 80 °C. Best of luck!

I'm curious about the differences between the recommendations made so far. The temperature difference is small, but the time difference is huge. Is this an example of a case where time is not critical past a certain point?

OK - this is it: I made it exactly like i would do a beef filet: Thickness: 2 cm (Cut the heart in two - trimmed of all the fat etc)

Starting Temp. out of Fridge: 6 C 

Waterbath Temp: / Final Temp of meat: 58 C

Total Time in Sous-vide Bath: 1 Hour 7 Minutes (Left it in for 1 hour and seared it in the pan, seasoned it) Was perfect. Nice medium rare!!

The second time i just grilled the heart (raw heart on the grill with olive oil) for about 3-4 Minutes on each side - depending on thickness. Perfect again.

Was for a newspaper article:
