In the warm months, who doesn’t love getting together with family and friends, around the grill in the backyard, at a park, by the lake, or on the riverbank or seashore to cook over the flames? All of us, except maybe the barbecue cook, who tends the grill, smoke in the eyes, sweating and fretting over the food: are the burgers done in the center? Chicken cooked all the way through? Steaks too rare…or overdone? Thus has it always been, until now.

the basics
Cooking sous vide (a French term meaning under vacuum) involves vacuum-sealing a given food—meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit—in a food-grade pouch and submerging it in a temperature-controlled temperature-controlled water bath for as long as it takes to bring the food to the desired temperature throughout. Food cooks gently and precisely and cannot overcook, since it can only reach the temperature of the water in the bath. Flavor and moisture that would normally escape into the air or drip into the pan stay locked in the food pouch, which produces the most flavorful, tender, and juicy food possible.
the vacuum seal—is important, as pockets of air between the pouch and the food can result in uneven cooking. When cooking sous vide, the water bath temperature is set at precisely the desired target for doneness—for instance, 146°F (63.5°C) for perfectly done chicken breasts. Foods cook gently for (at a minimum) long enough to allow the heat of the water to penetrate to the center of the food. How long that process takes has been carefully worked out mathematically for a wide variety of food types, and depends not as much on the weight of the food being cooked as on its thickness. For example, if it takes 40 minutes to bring a piece of chicken that is one-inch thick to temperature, it might take two hours to bring a two-inch thick piece to that temperature. It is important, for food safety, to carefully adhere to the minimum cooking times and holding instructions.
Chef George Pralus developed the technique in France about 40 years ago as a

The introduction introduction in 2009 2009 of the SousVide Supreme™ Supreme™ , the first water water oven designed designed for kitchen countertops, countertops, made the technique practical for everyone, from the rank novice to the accomplished cook.
How does sous vide cooking work? Unlike traditional cooking methods, such as roasting, broiling, grilling, or sautéing, that use aggressively high temperatures to heat the air around the food, the sous vide technique relies on the superior ability of water to transfer heat to the food. Because the transfer of heat through water is many times faster than the transfer of heat through air, removing all, or at least most, of the air from the cooking pouch—creating

just a tablespoon tablespoon of liquid. Use zip-closur zip-closure e cooking pouches pouches and Archimedes Archimedes’’ Principle (page 60) for foods containing a substantial amount of liquid. Simmer the food at the desired temperature in the preheated water bath for at least the minimum recommended amount of time to ensure it is heated to the center. In most cases, you can leave the food in the water bath substantially longer without loss of quality. Sear or sauce your food, if desired. All foods that have been cooked sous vide will be delicious straight from the pouch; but some benefit from a complementary sauce or a quick sear in a hot skillet, on a grill, or with a kitchen torch to impart the expected crisp, golden crust and savory flavor. Serve!

The length of cooking required required depends depends on two things: things: thickness of the food in the pouch and its tenderness or toughness. Tender cuts merely need to be brought to the desired temperature and finished—perhaps 45 minutes to an hour for a 1-inch piece of steak or a burger—then given a finishing quick sear. Though they may be heated through in the same hour, long, slow cooking of short ribs (48 to 72 hours) or pork shoulder for pulled pork (18 to 30 hours) allows their plentiful collagen to gelatinize and melt, giving them succulence and transforming their toughness into pull-apart tenderness.

To reduce the risk of food-borne food-borne illness when using using the Cook-Chill-Hold Cook-Chill-Hold method, method, folfollow these important guidelines: • Quick-chill the warm cooking pouches of food fully submerged in an ice water bath (half ice and half water) for long enough to ensure a quick drop back to refrigerated temperature. Generally this will be the same length as the minimum time required to bring the food to temperature. Add ice or freezer packs as needed.
Once you have given each food on your menu its proper culinary respect in the water oven, quick-chilled it, and refrigerated it, you’re set. Simply fill the water oven(s) on the day of your barbecue, set the temperature to the lowest cooking temperature you used—usually about 134°F (56.5°C) if red meat is on the menu—and an hour ahead,
