Why sous-vide cooking?

  • While the cooking process takes longer compared to traditional preparations, the sous-vide machine or precision cooker does most of the work meaning this hands-off cooking method leaves you with spare time to do other things.
  • You can prepare and cook your meat in advance and enjoy stress-free hours on the day of serving.
  • The meat is cooked evenly and to perfection. The lamb loin will be nicely pink throughout and only a short process of searing is required just before serving.
  • Vacuuming food and cooking sous-vide means learning a new technique which will make your life easier, especially if you like to cook larger pieces of meat or if you host many parties.

Seasoning before sous-vide cooking

To produce intense flavours, vacuum seal all seasoning, herbs or marinades together with the meat just before cooking. If you forget then season the meat when searing just before serving. In this case the flavours will be more subtle.

Service time
