There are many different cooking techniques you should try, some of them can completely transform a dish or an ingredient. For example, do you know that eggs can be prepared in a million different ways? This is possible thanks to using different techniques. One of the most fun ones is sous vide cooking, and here’s something you probably didn’t know about it.
What is Sous Vide Cooking?
Sous vide is a cooking technique that requires putting food in an air-tight bag before placing it in hot water. It sounds simple enough, but it requires extreme precision to be done right. One of the most difficult things to get right is the water temperature, especially if you don’t have a cooking thermometer.
That’s why using a lid is very important. When you heat water in a pot with a lid, you can control its temperature more easily. You’ll also be sure that the water is heated evenly and you won’t need to refill the pot as often. When uncovered, water evaporates faster, and when you add new water, it may not be the same temperature and compromise the cooking process.
For the best results, make sure the lid fits the pot, or use a universal lid if you don’t have a matching one!
