The technique wasfirst developed in France and named Sous Vide, French for “undervacuum,” though it would more correctly be called “without muchair,” since the vacuum sealing doesn’t truly remove all the air from thebag. Removing most of the air from the bags, however, does reducethe chance of bacterial growth and spoilage. And the vacuum-sealedpouches prevent evaporation and the loss of flavor and nutrition,keeping the foods cooked sous vide moist, tender and flavorful.The high-precision thermostat of the Waring ® Thermal Circulatorswater bath maintains the temperature with a tight window aroundthe set target temperature, so food can be cooked to the perfecttemperature effortlessly. Steaks prepared with the sous vide methodcan be cooked to the desired temperature throughout, instead ofcharred on the outside, overcooked below that, and perfect just inthe center.A medium-rare steak cooked sous vide will be medium rare fromedge to edge; a medium steak will be medium throughout; amedium-well steak, the same all the way through. No guesswork.No critical timing. No chance of overcooking.Check out waringcommercialproducts.com to see our vacuumsealing systems for food storage and sous vide cooking.
