Description
Sous‑vide is a precision‑temperature cooking method that uses vacuum‑sealed bags in a controlled water bath to achieve even doneness while preserving moisture and texture.
Technical
The method relies on controlled heat transfer to gelatinize collagen at 55–65 °C, preventing over‑cooking of muscle fibers. The sealed environment suppresses oxidation and water loss, and a final high‑temperature sear initiates the Maillard reaction for flavor and color.
Science
Primary Reaction
Collagen denaturation and gelatinization (followed by Maillard browning during sear)
