See full technique reference →By maintaining 60–80 °C for 30–90 min in a sealed chamber, phenolic and aldehydic smoke compounds penetrate the surface and react with amino groups to form Maillard‑like flavor complexes. The method balances flavor intensity with texture preservation, making it ideal for sous‑vide applications.
Primary Reaction
