Description
Sous vide is a precision cooking technique that uses vacuum‑sealed bags in a temperature‑controlled water bath.
Technical
By maintaining a constant, low temperature, sous vide denatures proteins such as myosin and myoglobin uniformly while preserving moisture and flavor. Collagen is gradually converted into gelatin, giving tough cuts a silky mouthfeel, and volatile flavor compounds are retained due to the sealed environment.
