Sous vide cooking is a popular technique that has been around for decades but has recently gained more attention among home cooks. The process involves vacuum-sealing food in a plastic bag and cooking it in a precisely controlled water bath at a lower temperature for a long period of time. The outcome is perfectly cooked meat that is evenly cooked throughout and retains its natural flavors and juices.
