The chef's secret for the tastiest dishes
Sous vide is a cooking technique that is becoming increasingly popular among chefs and hobby chefs. This technique is known for the perfect results it produces and the many benefits it offers. But what exactly is sous vide cooking? How does it work and why is it such a fantastic way to prepare dishes?
What is sous vide cooking?
Sous vide is French for “under vacuum”. In this technique, the dish is cooked in a vacuum-sealed bag in a warm water bath. This preserves the juices, aromas and flavors of the dish, making the end result even more intense and tastier than with traditional cooking.
How does sous vide cooking work?
Sous vide cooking is very simple. You vacuum-seal the dish in a bag, place it in a warm water bath and wait until it has reached the desired temperature. After this, you can remove the dish from the bag and fry or grill it to heat the outside. The precision of this technique makes it possible to master dishes down to the last detail. For example, you can cook it exactly to the desired temperature, so that the texture and appearance of the dish are always perfect. Moreover, you don't have to worry about the dish drying out, as the vacuum-packed bag retains the moisture.
