Frequently Asked Questions About Sous Vide Baths
How is sous vide cooking done commercially?
Sous vide cooking involves cooking food in vacuum-seal pouches at precisely controlled low temperature.
In commercial settings, sous vide machines often feature precise temperature controls and an immersion circulator, ensuring the water bath is at a precise temperature for consistent results. Commercial sous vide cooking machines offer chefs the ability to achieve precise doneness levels, with ideal flavours and textures. A popular choice for restaurants, hotels, and catering services, sous vide cooking is a favourite method for high-end establishments.
What are the different types of sous vide cooking machines?
There are two main types of sous vide cooker: stirred and unstirred.
A stirred sous vide machine comes with a circulation system, pumping water throughout the bath to ensure consistent heat distribution and temperature during cooking. A sous vide machine with a stirred water bath is ideal for uniform sous vide cooking.
An unstirred sous vide machine does not have a circulation system, relying on natural convection to distribute heat instead. Simpler in design, unstirred sous vide machines are a budget-friendly option for those with specific cooking requirements.
How much does a sous vide cooker cost?
The cost of a sous vide machine depends on many factors, including the brand, model, and age of the machine. Newer sous vide machines, for example, will cost more - as will a higher water bath capacity or features such as immersion circulator.
