Sous vide is a method of cooking in vacuumized plastic pouches at precisely controlled temperatures. Precise temperature control gives more choice over doneness and texture than traditional cooking methods. Cooking in heat-stable, vacuumized pouches improves shelf-life and can enhance taste and nutrition
Sous vide is a unique process of cooking, the food must be packaged in a vacuum sealed bag, and then cooked at a low and consistent temperature in a water bath. The process started in France and has been growing in popularity; used by chefs on “Top Chef” and “The Taste”, as well as restaurants all over. The low consistent temperature ensures the food is cooked evenly throughout; this is why when you order steaks at a restaurant, they are so juicy and tender.
That’s what makes sous vide such a popular solution in restaurants, and that’s what makes it an amazing tool for home cooks as well. Try it, and right from the jump you’ll see how it can drastically improve matters in the kitchen—you’ll be cooking more and having more fun doing it. And your steaks will be the stuff of legend.
