Sous vide is a precision‑temperature cooking method that uses vacuum‑sealed bags submerged in a controlled water bath to cook foods at uniform, low temperatures for extended periods.
Origin: French (1970s) — France
See full technique reference →During sous vide, proteins undergo gradual denaturation while collagen fibers gelatinize, producing a tender matrix. The low temperature range limits Maillard browning, preserving moisture and preventing acrylamide formation, while vacuum sealing reduces oxidative degradation of fats.
