What is Sous Vide
Sous vide–French for "under vacuum”–is a cooking technique in which food is vacuum sealed and cooked in water at a precise time and temperature until it's perfectly cooked.
This innovative method was developed in 1971 by Cuisine Solutions chief scientist, Dr. Bruno Goussault.
Flavor
Sous Vide cooking process ensures that each cut of meat is cooked to perfection and retains its natural flavors and juices.
Consistency
Once chefs create a recipe, sous vide method allows to replicate it over and over for an excellent outcome every time.
Safety
All products are vacuum-sealed, fully pasteurized and cooked at precise temperatures.

"You have a lot of control (with sous-vide cooking). Waste control, temperature control which helps with the safety, and it’s always moist"
