The basic techniques, food safety, and science of sous vide cooking are reviewed, with a focus on vacuumized plastic pouches.

Abstract

Abstract Sous vide is a method of cooking in vacuumized plastic pouches at precisely controlled temperatures. Precise temperature control gives more choice over doneness and texture than traditional cooking methods. Cooking in heat-stable, vacuumized pouches improves shelf-life and can enhance taste and nutrition. This article reviews the basic techniques, food safety, and science of sous vide cooking.
