These are 6 benefits why you should cook with sous vide:

1. Perfect cooking through temperature control

One of the most notable advantages of sous vide cooking is the accuracy it offers in terms of cooking temperature. Because food is cooked in a vacuum sealed manner in a water bath at a constant, regulated temperature, you consistently achieve perfect cooking ! You no longer have to worry about your meat, fish or vegetables being overcooked or burning.

2. Vitamins and flavors are better preserved

Unlike traditional cooking methods where nutrients are often lost through heat and exposure to air, sous vide cooking preserves vitamins and flavors. The food is sealed in airtight vacuum bags and is slowly prepared at a constant, lower temperature so that flavors and nutrients are better preserved.

3. Easier preparation and better planning = relaxation

With sous vide cooking you can easily prepare and plan meals, so you experience less stress in the kitchen and get meals on the table quickly. By preparing food in advance and vacuum-packing it, you can prepare meals in advance and cook them perfectly at a later time when it suits you. This means more time to relax and enjoy the company of your guests or quickly put a meal on the table for the whole family on a busy weekday!

4. Health benefits: less salt and fat consumption

Sous vide cooking offers significant health benefits including using less salt and fat when preparing your favorite meals. We often use a lot of salt and fat to flavor food, but with sous vide this is a thing of the past. The taste and texture of food is well preserved by this way of cooking, so you need less salt and fat. This makes sous vide cooking not only tastier than traditional cooking, but also a healthier choice for you and your family.

5. Convenience: time to do other things in between cooking

Convenience also plays a role in sous vide cooking, unlike traditional cooking methods, you do not have to continuously monitor the cooking process. The food cooks quietly at a constant temperature in the water bath , giving you space and time to focus on other tasks or relax for a while. Sous vide cooking provides a stress-free cooking experience!

6. It's tastier! For meat, fish and vegetables
