I would sear beforehand depending on thickness. Thin chops do not turn out nearly as well if seared after.

That's the very one I'm doing. Just didn't know about the double sear in that recipe.
Edit: and these are pretty thick chops. Doesn't the sear lose it's crisp if done before?

No, the crust doesn't really lose it's texture. If you cook a piece of burnt toast does it get less rigid and crusty?
EDIT: If the chip is thick go for the after sear. If it's on the thinner side definitely sear it beforehand otherwise you end up with an overcooked chop

I don't know the science behind it but I'm guessing the fact that it's vacuum sealed has something to do with it. It loses a little texture but not much, and certainly not enough to make it worse than an overcooked chop. It's still very good seared beforehand.
You can also just sear it for like 10 seconds each side after you take it out to recrisp it without overcooking I suppose.

I've never pre-seared, and just accepted (from Serious Eats) that the difference is small if there is any, plus it adds another step.

Khane, where you at? i just went to a "chain" Korean Restaurant in North Jersey, had really good soon du boo, and the seafood pancake was actually really good, usually most places even mom & pop make it too oily, imo, it's called SGD
I tried pre-sear once, found the results the same, also it's more prep work, so why bother!

Just to be clear I always sear in the rear with the one exception being thinner cuts of pork. The local BJ's sometimes cuts the loin chops thin.
Lanx I don't live in Jersey I live in CT. But I used to date someone from Lyndhurst and we would get KFC (korean) often. It was dope.

Do not buy the thermapen from Amazon. Buy the real thing from thermoworks
Thermapen Mk4 Thermometer from ThermoWorks
I have that one (the mk4). There is also the original version which I think is $79.99?
Amazon, ebay, etc are all resellers who jack up the prices.

Why the New Warning on the ThermoWorks Website? | ThermoWorks
I'm uploading a pic
notice on the bottom it says
sold by stuff2ufast
this is what is meant by an Amazon reseller, (3rd party) they sell via FBA (fullfillment by amazon) they basically have their own storefronts, ship all thier stuff to an Amazon warehouse and Amazon ships it out to you, if it's by FBA (they pay an already low cost special UPS account) then it's shipped free/prime.
This is different than being sold directly from amazon, another pic
which says
ships from and sold by amazon.com
hope this helps you guys.
