Cooks.com - Recipe Search and More Sous Vide Cooking Although cooking in a water bath has been a technique that’s been around since medieval times, it wasn’t until the 1970’s that sous vide, a method of cooking food under vacuum in precisely temperature-controlled water baths, was invented in France. It would not be adopted in the US until 2000, when Daniel Boulud learned this fascinating technique from French chef Gerard Bertholon. With the recent popularity of food shows and celebrity chefs, this method has taken the cooking world by a storm. Despite its popularity in restaurants, it has not really caught on at home. "Sous vide" literally means "under vacuum" in French. Sous vide cooking has a lot of interesting benefits. Finally, sous vide cooking, in many instances, allows you to reduce significantly the amount of cooking liquid you use. You can rig your own sous-vide system with a magic cooker, beer cooler, or a cast iron pot. My general thoughts? Scallops come out great via sous vide, and salmon is delicious as well.
