7. VACUUM FOOD PACKAGING FOR “SOUS VIDE”
COOKING METHOD
With this method, the food sealed in the
vacuum pouch is then slowly steam
cooked or cooked in low temperature
water.
Vacuum is set at 99.9%, which is ideal
for this cooking method.
The benefits provided are many:
The flavour and texture of the food are
better
Both flavour and aromas are
preserved, as the cooking process
does not disperse them
The reduced loss of liquid makes the
food softer and less dry.
Nutrients like minerals and vitamins
are preserved by the sealed pouch.
You don't need to add oils or fats for
cooking.
