Sous Vide

Tag Archives: Sous Vide

Sous Vide is french for under vacuum and is a technique of cooking vacuum sealed meats at the desired finish temperature for long periods of time. This has several advantages, first, you will always reach the perfect temperature for dishes such as steak, roasts, prime ribs, fish, etc. Second, the food is ready whenever YOU are ready to eat.
