Cheap frozen tongue 3$/lb. 137f 40 hours. Planned for 24 hours but plans changed and I kept it going.
Skin is impossible to peel at these temperatures! I struggled to cut off the skin and had some meat wasted due to not knowing how to butcher properly and my knives were a bit dull.
Seared off some pieces as steaks for a quick lunch. Texture is very unique, very soft and jello-you but toorhsome. Very pleasant. I think 24hrs would've been enough.
Curious about how it will be in tacos when I make them later.

If you pressure cook them they are very tender and done in 45 mins. The skin comes right off, and you get a delicious beef broth with it.
I tried SV one before for 36 hours and it was good, but not worth the extra effort
God I love tongue! I’ve been eating it since I was a kid. Never thought about trying to cook one (though I’m the only one in the house who will eat it). Thanks for the inspiration.
