Forum: Sous Vide: Worth the Hype?

Sous vide is a great technique for slow cooking proteins while infusing flavors. The process originated in France over 30 years ago and literally translates as "under vacuum." In the US, sous vide cooking is mostly used by commercial and institutional food services to break down, seal, and freeze products that can be served at a moment's notice. Within the last few years, the technique has been adopted by America's fine dining chefs.
