About this program
What this course covers
Sous vide is a method that rewards patience and precision. You seal food in a bag, submerge it in water held at an exact temperature, and cook it for a set time. The results — consistently cooked proteins, tender vegetables, silky eggs — are difficult to achieve any other way.
This course starts with how temperature affects protein structure, why 56°C and 63°C produce completely different textures in a steak, and how to read a time-temperature table with confidence rather than anxiety.
Equipment you actually need
You do not need expensive gear to get started. We cover immersion circulators in the 60–120 USD range, container options, and vacuum sealing vs. the zip-lock displacement method. Each lesson includes a specific equipment recommendation with reasoning, not just a shopping list.
Building a repeatable process
One of the most common frustrations is cooking something perfectly once and then failing to replicate it. We address this directly — how to log your cooks, adjust for thickness, and finish proteins correctly in a hot pan without overcooking what you worked hard to get right.
Recipes used throughout the course
- Chicken breast at 60°C for 90 minutes with pan sear finish
- Beef short ribs at 72°C for 48 hours
- Soft-boiled eggs at 63°C for 45 minutes
- Salmon fillet at 52°C for 30 minutes
- Carrots with brown butter at 85°C for 1 hour
Each recipe is chosen to demonstrate a specific principle, not just to fill out a menu. By the end, you will have a clear mental model of how time and temperature interact — and you will know how to apply that to ingredients we never covered in class.
