7. VACUUM FOOD PACKAGING FOR “SOUS VIDE”

COOKING METHOD

With this method, the food sealed in the

vacuum pouch is then slowly steam

cooked or cooked in low temperature

water.

Vacuum is set at 99.9%, which is ideal

for this cooking method.

The benefits provided are many:

 The flavour and texture of the food are

better

 Both flavour and aromas are

preserved, as the cooking process

does not disperse them

 The reduced loss of liquid makes the

food softer and less dry.

 Nutrients like minerals and vitamins

are preserved by the sealed pouch.

 You don't need to add oils or fats for

cooking.

ENGLISH 10
