WHAT IS SOUS VIDE?
Developed in France in the 1970s, sous vide is a culinary technique in
which food is vacuum-sealed and cooked in a water bath at a consistent
low temperature for an extended period of time. Ideal for families with
busy schedules and health-conscious lifestyles, sous vide cooking
delivers easy meal solutions that make dinnertime virtually foolproof.
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3: just season and vacuum seal your food; slip it
into your sous vide cooker; set it and forget it. That’s it. And when
you’re ready, serve up perfection.
