Contents recipie s About Sous Vide What is Sous Vide? Sous vide cooking is a method in which food is sealed in a bag, submerged in a water bath, and gradually brought to a specific temperature in order to ensure perfectly reliable results. There are many advantages to sous vide cooking, but the most obvious is that it is virtually impossible to overcook your food. Since modern sous vide cooking relies on specialized sous vide circulators (a heating element that precisely controls water temperature), maintaining a constant water temperature is effortless. Because the circulator makes sure the water is always set to the exact temperature that you desire, the food in the water bath will never rise above or fall below that temperature, so you never run the risk of over or undercooking anything.

What Does Sous Vide Do? By using perfectly controlled temperatures, sous vide cooking allows you to cook many of your favorite meats, fish, and vegetables with ease. Your sous vide circulator is designed to be immersed in a water bath where its motor and heating element will raise the temperature of the water to a specific temperature. Your circulator has a built-in thermometer, so it will be able to constantly make adjustments as your food cooks. Depending on what you are cooking and what kind of texture you would like to achieve, you will leave the food in the water bath for a certain amount of time. As your food cooks, the water bath will bring your food to a precise temperature and then hold it there until you are ready to serve. Since the food is cooked when it reaches a certain temperature, the amount of time the food remains at that temperature is less critical in sous vide than in other methods of cooking.

What Does Sous Vide NOT Do? Cooking sous vide is all about internal temperature, but there are other aspects of cooking like searing, frying, and baking which require additional processes, called finishing. While sous vide cooking is a great way to prepare food before searing or frying, you will still need additional equipment to accomplish these finishing steps. Additionally, sous vide isnt a very good way to cook breaded or baked foods. Who Uses Sous Vide? Because it is so easy and foolproof, anyone can benefit from sous vide cooking because it takes so much of the guesswork out of cooking virtually anything. Once you have become familiar with the preparation process, you will find that cooking sous vide is a great way to make amazing meals while saving time and energy. Sous vide cooking was originally used in high-end professional kitchens to improve efficiency when high volumes of food needed to be prepared quickly.
