Sous vide (French for 'under vacuum') is a precision cooking method that uses temperature-controlled water baths. Food is sealed in a bag and cooked at exact temperatures for extended periods. This ensures perfect doneness edge-to-edge - no overcooked exteriors or undercooked centers. Proteins stay incredibly tender and juicy. Vegetables maintain their texture and nutrients. While it requires special equipment, the results are consistently perfect. It's especially great for tough cuts of meat that benefit from long, low-temperature cooking.
