What is Sous Vide?
“Sous vide”? Sounds complicated.OK, I’ll give you that – it sounds complicated, and fancy, and intense. But it’s so, so easy, and once you try it, you’ll never go back.Sous vide is French for “under vacuum”, and this method is named that because you’re literally vacuum sealing your food and then cooking it in a temperature-controlled water bath. A sous vide precision cooker is the easiest way to regulate the water temp, but you can also try my handy beer cooler hack if you’re not ready to go all-in on a formal sous vide set up just yet.The water bath regulates the temperature of whatever you’re cooking, which means your food heats evenly all over. The slow cooking method heats your food from the inside out, so everything is cooked through without ever overcooking, and you don’t risk losing any moisture from your meats. It’s also super convenient for anyone with a busy schedule since you can let the immersion cooker work its magic while you’re off doing your thing.Not sold yet?
