Sous Vide Cooking For.....

  • Intense flavours
  • Tender textures
  • Vibrant colours
  • Food cooked evenly throughout
  • Consistent results every time

Cooking at Lower Temperatures for Extended Periods of Time Has a Wide Range of Benefits

  • Preserves flavour and aroma as water-soluble substances especially aromatics are not lost
  • Flavours are enhanced; colours retained and less salt is required
  • Nutrients are preserved, as water-soluble minerals are not leached into cooking water as poaching in a vacuum bag eliminates this
  • Research has shown that sous vide gives the highest retention of vitamins vs. steaming and boiling
  • Little additional fat required during cooking
  • Consistent results every time a dish is cooked
