Description
A precision cooking method that vacuum‑seals food and cooks it in a temperature‑controlled water bath.
Technical
Maintaining a narrow temperature window causes gradual protein denaturation and collagen conversion to gelatin, preserving moisture and yielding uniform doneness. Low temperatures suppress Maillard browning, so a brief high‑heat sear is often added after cooking to develop surface flavor. Vacuum packaging limits oxidative loss of volatile flavor compounds, enhancing aroma intensity.
