Sous Vide Essentials

Remove uncertainty from the kitchen and make preparing food as
easy as pressing a button with Sous Vide! Sous Vide is a unique
process of cooking where the food is packaged under vacuum
in a sealed bag, and then cooked at very low and consistent
temperatures in a water bath.

The concept behind Sous Vide is based on the idea that food should
be cooked at the exact temperature you want it to reach. Traditional
cooking methods do not cook food evenly, either under cooking the
middle or overcooking the outside. The low, controlled temperatures
used in Sous Vide means that your food can’t be overcooked! Rather
than pan cooking or microwaving your meat, try cooking it Sous
Vide. Sous Vide is perfect for meats, tenderizing and evenly cooking
the entire piece for the perfect temperature, texture and doneness.
Food cooked using the Sous Vide method does not lose as much
of the nutritional content as food prepared traditionally due to the
reduced oxygen environment. For meals that melt in your mouth, try
Sous Vide cooking. Don’t miss out on the most progressive trend in
modern cuisine.
