In the past few years, sous vide cooking—already a staple in fine dining restaurants has gained a foothold in home kitchens as well thanks to inexpensive Sous Vide Machines like The Anova Nano or ChefSteps Joule. . Sous Vide is simply a cooking technique that uses precise temperature control to deliver consistent results. Five Star restaurants have been using sous vide cooking for years to cook food to the exact level of doneness desired, every time-day after day. Sous vide, which means “under vacuum” in French, refers to the process of vacuum-sealing food in a bag-usually plastic or a shrink wrap plastic, then cooking it to a very precise temperature in a water bath. This technique produces results that are impossible to achieve through any other cooking method because of the consistent temperature. Sous Vide Cooking is still plagued by many misconceptions that go beyond the pronunciatition. Below, we will address six of the most common myths surrounding sous vide.

Common boil in a bag foods, like ready made Indian Dishes and packaged rice involve placing the food in boiling water to heat it. With sous vide cooking, however, the point is to cook food gently, well below the boiling point and often very slowly. It involves heating water precisely to a temperature that matches the food’s ideal internal temperature, never any hotter or cooler, and almost certainly never to boiling! The idea that sous vide means boiling food in a bag is a persistent misconception and source of confusion. Misconception: Cooking in Plastic is unhealthy: We use the technique in our kitchen at home when we prepare food for our families. Here’s what we know: According to the latest research that we know of, the safest plastics are food-grade high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, and polypropylene. Virtually all sous vide bags are made from these plastics. Misconception about what you can cook: People unfamiliar with sous vide often think it’s useful only for preparing proteins. While all three of those foods taste great cooked sous vide, there are many more delicious dishes. Check out our previous blog on cooking vegetables Sous Vide.
