VACUUM SEALING
The term ‘sous vide’ translates to ‘under vacuum’ and refers to
the technique of slowly cooking vacuum sealed food in a water
bath. A vacuum seal can be achieved without the need for a
vacuum sealer appliance, simply by using a food-grade snap-
lock bag. This is referred to as the water displacement method.
