How Cooking With Sous Vide Can Benefit Your Restaurant

What is Sous Vide?

Sous Vide (su-ved) is a French term for “under vacuum”.  The Sous Vide cooking technique involves cooking food under vacuum in airtight bags submerged in a temperature-controlled cook tank or water bath.  The process of slow cooking meats and vegetables in a water bath at controlled temperatures ensures not only a precise level of doneness, (not over- or under-cooked), but it also allows the retention of juices and aroma making the end result more flavorful and enjoyable.

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, providing consistent results every time, and across multiple locations if applicable.

  • The foods are cooked evenly and to perfection every time.
  • Important Nutrients and Vitamins are “locked in”, keeping food moist and tender.
  • The Sous Vide method removes the risk of overcooking and drying out.
