Most people who are interested in Western food have come across a term called Sous Vide, which is a cooking method that has been popular in foreign countries for several years and is still fashionable in China. So, what does Sous Vide mean? This word means "under vacuum" in French and refers to the method of vacuum-sealing food in plastic bags and then cooking.

I. REDMOND Sous Vide cooking method consists of two steps:

1. Season or marinate the food and place it in a plastic bag of appropriate size and then vacuum seal it.

2.Cook the food at a constant low temperature, usually with a special water bath.

II. REDMOND Sous Vide application

The cooking temperature of many Sous Vide is an approximate value, but if you use an immersion circulator (Thermal Immersion Circulator), the temperature setting is extremely accurate, and the chef sets the temperature even to the decimal point to achieve the desired precision. This is used by professional chefs.

Nowadays, Sous vide has entered ordinary people's homes. Foodie gifts from foreigners can be a home sous vide machine, or simpler, REDMOND sous vide.

1. Tender meat or poultry

Tender meat or poultry is usually heated to the desired temperature in a water bath. Usually the cooking temperature is set between 60°C-65°C, and sometimes it is cooked at a temperature higher or lower than this range, and the cooking time is usually between 20-60 minutes or even longer.

This can be done because this cooking temperature is both in the dangerous temperature zone of the food (the bacteria grows most active between 5°C and 60°C) and in the safe period of low-temperature cooking.

Usually the food prepared in this way will be served immediately once it is finished, and it will not be refrigerated for later consumption if it is not finished.

2. Tough meat

The tough meat has more connective tissue. Cooking at 65°C-70°C is more tender and juicy than braise or simmer. Although this temperature range is much lower than the temperature of a small stove fire (the temperature of the simmer is about 82°C), this temperature range is enough to break up the connective tissue of the meat. At 70°C, the meat fibers will spread out but remain tender, and at 65°C, the meat will maintain a certain shape but still tender and juicy. It depends.

It usually takes 12-48 hours to cook tough meat until it is soft and cooked. Once it is done, it must be cooled immediately and stored in the refrigerator for later use. Because of the long cooking time, the cooking temperature should not be lower than 65°C to avoid entering the dangerous temperature area.

III. Why is the love of chefs?

Although the name of this cooking method refers to vacuum packaging, the real reason why many chefs like to use this technique is that this method can precisely control the cooking temperature, produce the desired effect, and satisfy many diners’ obsession with tenderness and juiciness.

For example, to roast a boneless lamb tenderloin, the traditional method is to put the tenderloin in an oven preset at 200°C and bake it until the core temperature reaches 60°C (medium doneness).

When the core temperature of the oven reaches this level, the meat on the outside is much more cooked than the center, and we have to take care of it from time to time to remove the tenderloin from the oven at the right time.

If the lamb loin is vacuum sealed into a plastic bag and the bag is cooked in 60°C water, no matter how long the bag is left in the water, the temperature of the loin will not exceed this temperature. Therefore, the lamb tenderloin cooked in this way has the same degree of cooked inside and outside. If you want to have a beautiful appearance on the inside surface, just take the meat out of the bag and put it in a hot pan to fry it quickly and serve it immediately.
