    These healthy sous vide recipes are easy, delicious, and so much better for you and your palate! Using the sous vide cooking method, helps the meat cook evenly, and it traps all the juices inside, making for tender, delicious recipes every time!

    From chicken and pork chops to ribs and even tri-tip, these healthy sous vide recipes have something for everyone, and because they're cooked in a water bath, they require no oil. That means they're better for you and you have very little clean-up to contend with!

    What is sous vide cooking?

    Sous vide is a method of cooking that uses a water bath to cook meats and vegetables. Invented in 1974 by French chef, George Pralus, sous vide, also known as low-temperature, long-time cooking, is a method of cooking in which the food is placed in a plastic pouch or glass jar and cooked in a water bath at a precise temperature.

    The cooking time is longer than usually recommended for foods in standard cooking methods, but by cooking it sealed in the water bath, the meat remains moist and tender while becoming exceptionally tender thanks to the longer cooking time.

    What is the point of sous vide cooking?

    Sous vide cooking was invented to achieve precise cooking results every time. The hot water in the container that circulates around the food in the bag is a gentle cooking process that slowly brings the temperature of the ingredients up to - but not past - the temperature of the water.

    This slow, precise cooking method ensures that meats are always tender and juicy and vegetables and fruits are always cooked to perfection. It's a far more precise cooking method than cooking in an oven or on the stovetop.

    The wonderful thing about sous vide cooking is that it works for all types of meat - even those that are typically cooked quickly at high temperatures. Because the meat is sealed, it doesn't dry out during the extended cooking time. This is what allows the meat to get so tender while retaining so much juiciness.
