What does sous-vide mean?

Sous-vide (the French "sous" means "for under vacuum" and "vide" means "vac-
uum") or vacuum cooking is a special cooking method in which the food is first
vacuum-packed in special plastic bags and then cooked at a low temperature in
a water bath. The cooking temperatures remain under 100°C, which makes it
a very gentle cooking method. The low temperatures change the products more
slowly at a molecular level, making the cooking results all the more tender and
juicy. In sous-vide cooking, the airtight packaging retains nearly all the flavour
and nutrients; this making vacuum-cooked food particularly flavoursome.
The aromas of spices become more intense under a vacuum. It is therefore better
to use them sparingly and add more later if necessary.
Another benefit is that the core temperature can be controlled exactly – so the
rule of thumb is: water temperature = core temperature. Overcooking the food is
almost impossible if the temperature has been correctly selected as the individual
ingredients do not get any hotter than the temperature of the water.
You will need the following accessories (not supplied) to cook using the sous-vide
