What Is Sous Vide?

Sous-vide is a high-quality cooking method that originates from France, where “sous vide” translates to “under vacuum.” Typically, a cut of meat is seasoned and sealed in a vacuum bag, then placed in a temperature-controlled water bath. This low and slow cooking process allows chefs to achieve precise internal temperatures without the risk of overcooking, undercooking, or unevenly cooking the food.

The Evolution of Sous-Vide Cooking

For a long time, sous-vide cooking was exclusive to the best restaurants. The high price of sous-vide appliances made it difficult for home cooks to replicate the techniques of Michelin star chefs. However, the sous-vide method gained popularity with the advent of social media and the introduction of affordable immersion circulators for adventurous consumers. Despite this, sous-vide remains somewhat of a novelty, not easily lending itself to convenient, everyday home cooking. Most proteins take a long time to cook at the low temperatures of a water bath, and there is the hassle of owning, using, and storing a vacuum sealer.
