Sous Vide Solutions : An introduction to our consultancy
Sous Vide Solutions offer a tailored service for the seamless implementation of systems, processes and technology, enabling you to cook under a vacuum at your premises.
Simply put, the process involves placing products into vacuum pouches and cooking them for a predetermined period of time, at precisely set temperatures.
Using the sous vide method results in minimal shrinkage (due to the use of lower cooking temperatures), a superior quality, taste and enhanced tenderised texture (as the entire product is cooked evenly from the outside to the centre). Kitchens notice and exploit a more fluid and flexible working environment, derived from using the 'cook-chill-regen' method that the sous vide process offers (whereby product is pre-cooked - generally using a waterbath system, then chilled/stored and re-generated within minutes at the time of order).
Customers notice shorter lag times from the moment an order is placed to when their dish arrives, resulting in an improved quality of service, customer satisfaction and goodwill. A sous vide system, when implemented properly can save your business time and money, with the added bonus often experienced by many kitchens - a reduction in staff turnover and consequent retention of skilled members due to the unmatched and unprecedented usability of the process.
Recently, advances in sous vide technology such as waterbaths and vacuum packers have resulted in a huge increase in the cooking technique being used. So as not to be left behind, many restaurateurs and food service operators now see the sous vide processes and technology as a competitive necessity.
Whilst the quality of food produced from sous vide cooking is incomparable, so likewise are its methods, against the more conventional models of food preparation. However, this is nothing to be deterred by. Although many are unsure about the practice itself (generally put down to unfamiliarity and lack of a sufficient knowledge base), sous vide remains more cost effective and safer than conventional methods. Sous Vide Solutions can help to put your mind at ease and create a bespoke, personalised system to suit your individual needs. We will answer all of your questions with facts, and help with HACCP on sous vide cooking and food saftey systems.
