Basic Sous Vide Cooking Basics

Start cooking with sous vide

This guide explains sous vide basics: choosing temps and times for meats and veggies, sealing bags properly, cooking safely, and finishing with a quick sear for texture.

Pick temp and time

Use reliable charts for protein doneness and thickness; note pasteurization times.

Seal correctly

Use vacuum or water displacement; avoid trapping air pockets.

Cook safely

Keep water above minimum temps for safety; avoid cross-contamination.

Sear to finish

Dry surfaces well and sear briefly in a hot pan or torch for crust without overcooking.
