What does sous-vide mean?

Sous-vide (French for “Under vacuum”) is a method of cooking 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 95℃. The low temperatures change the products more slowly at a molecular level, making the cooking results more tender and juicy.

Thickness measurements are based on the thickest section of the food and measured through the vacuum-sealed pouch. Cooking times are for foods starting at refrigerator temperature. Add 15 minutes if starting from frozen.
Tough cuts of meat will heat through to serving temperature in the same time as tender cuts. We recommend longer cooking times for lean, tough cuts to tenderize them.
*Eggs cooked in the shell should not be sealed in cooking pouches.
