Description
Sous vide cooking involves sealing food in airtight bags and heating it in a water bath at a controlled temperature.
Technical
Sous vide cooking relies on temperature control and vacuum sealing to achieve consistent results, using water as the heat transfer medium. The process prevents moisture loss and promotes even cooking, while also preventing oxidation and spoilage. Temperature accuracy is critical, typically ±0.1°C (±0.2°F), to achieve consistent results.
