Preheat a sous vide cooker to the desired final temperature according to the chart below. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Place in sous vide bags along with herbs, garlic, and shallots (if using) and distribute evenly. Seal bags and place in water bath for time recommended in chart below.
