____________________________

French for “under pressure,” sous vide is a method of cooking food, sealed in vacuum-sealed pouches, immersed in a rigorously temperature-controlled water bath.  The result is the preservation of the ingredients and their integrity (no loss of natural juices/flavors), incredibly tender and succulent meat, and retention of nutritional properties.
