THE ADVANTAGES OF
LOW TEMPERATURE VACUUM COOKING AND
SOUS-VIDE COOKING TIMES

Low-temperature vacuum cooking is an innovative technique used increasingly throughout the professional world to cook food healthily, preserving the nutritional qualities of the food and enhancing the taste and flavor of all types of food. Sous-vide cooking is particularly suitable for cooking meats, it allows them to be cooked evenly instead of being overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside and gives them softness and juiciness typical of the low-temperature cooking technique.
If vacuum cooking is preceded by vacuum storage instead of traditional storage, this will also stop bacterial growth inside the vacuum pouches and maintain the flavors, quality, and nutritional values of your food for longer.
