### ** Sous Vide (sü-ved)** is a French term for “*Under Vacuum*”.   The [Sous Vide](https://www.plascongroup.com/food-solutions/sous-vide-packaging/) cooking technique involves cooking food under vacuum in airtight bags submerged in a cook tank/water bath.  Products are slow cooked in the water bath & held at precisely controlled temperature. The result is a dish that retains all of the moisture, nutrients and flavors of the ingredients and is evenly done throughout.[![what is sous vide? ](https://blog.plasconinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/what%20is%20sous%20vide%202022.jpg?width=760&name=what%20is%20sous%20vide%202022.jpg)](https://www.plascongroup.com/products/sous-vide-packaging/) ###  Benefits of Sous Vide - Placing the food in a water bath, with the temperature set at the desired final cooking temperature of the food, prevents overcooking, because the food cannot get hotter than the bath it is in. - Consistent Results - The foods are cooked evenly & to perfection every time. - Important Nutrients & Vitamins are “locked in”. Food will remain moist and tender. - The Sous Vide method removes the risk of overcooking and “drying out”. ###  ![blown-films_bubble _2](https://blog.plasconinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blown-films_bubble%20_2.jpg?width=200&name=blown-films_bubble%20_2.jpg)The Plascon Bag Advantage - Tubular Bags are made from 7- layer Co-Extruded Film where all the layers are blown at the same time, creating a strong multi-layer construction. - Bags are made from this tubular film and sealed with one sole bottom seal. - Film & Bags are produced under HACCP controlled conditions.
