Sous Vide - Terry H. Miller
Why Sous Vide Is Better Than Traditional Cooking Methods
Have you ever heard the term Sous vide? No, well add it to your vocabulary Sous vide refers to a simple cooking process even though the term itself suggests otherwise. One of the key methods in this process is sealing; it requires you to seal up your ingredients in air tight bags which retains juices and aroma that is usually lost during the normal cooking process. Followed by placing the airtight bag in a heater or cook at the required temperature. Once the content is cooked to the specified time and temperature, turn off and remove give it a quick sear and serve as desired.
The Sous Vide cooking method is particularly useful for most meat kind and seafood when traditional cooking methods are applied to these foods they often lose their original appearance, excess amounts of fat and texture.
Imagine the process of frying chicken; the initial temperature will cause the meat’s flesh to become tender and succulent. As the temperature increases, the skin will become crisp with hard edges which is an indication of overcooking, but this is only the skin because sometimes the inside is actually undercooked. This often occurs when using metal pans and ovens; traditional cooking techniques allow heat to flow from the burner to the pot then into the food, or the elements in ovens that heat the air which cooks the food.
The sous vide method originated in French – the French term translates to under vacuum
– the fundamental concept is not predominantly focused on vacuum sealing but precise temperature control also. For example, an automated heater is able to heat food at low temperature level for prolonged hours. This shows that mastering the temperature that is distributed to the food cooking gives the cook multiple advantages. One of these advantages come in the form of time; traditional cooking requires around the clock monitoring because one slip can result in your meal being overcooked.
The advantages of the Sous vide method have led many cooks to try out the technique and improve the quality of their meals.
Benefits of Sous Vide Cooking
Tenderness
Tenderness of food is one of the main advantages sous vide has over traditional cooking. Because the food never gets hotter than the water it is in a low temperature is always sustained throughout the process. Tenderness is retained because the meat cells don’t burst during cooking and collagen located in the tissue of the meat is broken down without the protein being heated up so that it loses moisture.
Moisture Retention
Moisture retention is another advantage of sous vide because it utilizes air tight bags to keep the food, this container creates a moist environment that preserves features such as aromas and moisture that would normally be lost during traditional cooking methods. This enhances your food because it is now cooked with this added juice, which brings out the foods true flavor and texture.
Simplicity
One of the drawbacks that often deter people from using the sous vide method is the thought that the technique is a difficult one when in practicality the process is a simple one. The beginning of the process takes up the most effort as it requires preparation. Sous vide follows a linear process once this is mastered the extra time and effort that is exerted in traditional cooking is not needed.
The Safety of Cooking Sous Vide:
As with the introduction to all new concepts, there is skepticism regarding its legitimacy and safety. Some people question the cooking of foods in plastic bags, while others raise eyebrows about cooking at low temperatures.
While cooking in plastic does sound like a bad idea, and there have been concerning reports, is fair to consider the other health risks we take when cooking in any kitchen. Yes, polyethylene has been one to avoid, but every day, we use plastic food containers for eating and storage! Have you thought about the cleanliness of your cooking environments? Admittedly, often times, we cook on less-than-clean countertops.
While plastic is not safe, especially after being used repeatedly or at high temperatures, you can still enjoy safe meals by buying plastic bags from certified retailers. However, Sous Vide bags should only be used once, and cooking with the appliance does not require high temperatures. If you have to miss out on great meals, such as well-done meats and vegetables, let it not be simply because of fear. If, you’ve considered these and you are still concerned, you can always use canning jars instead.
Another source of major skepticism is bacterial infection, particularly, that of Salmonella. Salmonella only thrives within the temperature range of 40-135F, which is the reason for foods being refrigerated (for an hour) before cooking. This is also the reason for our cooking at certain temperatures before all foods are served and eaten.
Therefore, once you are cooking clean foods in a clean environment, ensuring that foods are refrigerated before cooking, you have no reason to be apprehensive. Vacuum-sealing fresh steak or fish, then, at a constant temperature, cooking for longer periods of time prohibits the growth of any bacteria. With the extent to which temperature is controlled precisely, Sous Vide cooking is actually safer than more traditional means. Sous Vide provides precautionary measures for all concerns one may have by using danger-free plastic and lower temperatures for cooking. These measures ensure that you can enjoy Sous Vide meals without the thought of threats to your health and well-being.
Let’s dive a bit more into the technique of Sous Vide cooking and how you can spin it to your benefit regardless your skill set.
Chapter 1 - How Does Cooking Sous Vide Work?
For one, it’s not as difficult as you think; it’s just important that you have the necessary equipment. For Sous Vide recipes, simple ingredients are just fine. As a matter of fact, most recipes only require basic spices to pull them off.
To begin, have your Sous Vide Cooker filled with water and preheated to the temperature of your choice. You can use the heating time for preparation of ingredients. Season ingredients to your liking and have them placed into individual Sous Vide bags. It is important that you use these bags, which are designed for preparing Sous Vide meals, as others bags may cause leakage and destruction of elements.
Once components are in their respective bags, use a vacuum sealer to rid the pack of air. In the absence of a vacuum sealer, you can use the water bath method to vacuum. Using this method, carefully rest the filled bag into a water bath, while preventing water from entering the container. Allow the water’s pressure to press the air through the bag’s opening. When most, if not all, of the air has been released, have the bag sealed above the water line. After completing these steps, you can finally begin cooking.
When cooking with Sous Vide, mastering temperature and measurements is key. Your handle on these factors will determine your dish’s flavor and texture. The range of temperatures for Sous Vide cooking is from 115 to 190F, maintaining a below-boiling temperature. It is key to be constant in temperature during baking. The raising or lowering to single degree can alter a dish’s taste and appearance.
