What is Sous Vide?
Sous Vide (sü-ved) is a French term for “Under Vacuum”.
The Sous Vide cooking technique involves cooking food under vacuum in airtight bags submerged in a cook tank/water bath. Products are slow cooked in the water bath & held at precisely controlled temperature. The result is a dish that retains all of the moisture, nutrients and flavors of the ingredients and is evenly done throughout.
Benefits of Sous Vide
- Placing the food in a water bath, with the temperature set at the desired final cooking temperature of the food, prevents overcooking, because the food cannot get hotter than the bath it is in.
- Consistent Results - The foods are cooked evenly & to perfection every time.
- Important Nutrients & Vitamins are “locked in”. Food will remain moist and tender.
- The Sous Vide method removes the risk of overcooking and “drying out”.
