The SousVide Supreme™

The SousVide Supreme™ is the world’s first water oven designed specifically to bring the gourmet sous vide cooking method into home kitchens. Sous vide cooking involves vacuum sealing food in airtight pouches, then submerging the bags in a water bath at precisely controlled temperatures, often much lower than those used in traditional ovens, but for a longer time. The result is perfectly cooked foods with enhanced flavors and nutritional benefits.

The SousVide Supreme is a sleek all–in–one solution. Simply set the temperature, and let the SousVide Supreme do the rest, controlling the water temperature to within one degree Fahrenheit—this is the key to sous vide success. The SousVide Supreme is about the size of a bread maker.

Meal preparation requires just a few simple steps:

Season

Season the food as desired using anything from simple salt and pepper to combinations, such as seasoned butters, broths and fresh herbs. Because sous vide cooking magnifies flavors by locking in seasonings and oils, a small amount of seasoning goes a long way..

Seal

Vacuum seal the food in food grade plastic pouches approved for cooking. Pouches can be sealed using common kitchen vacuum sealers or hand pumps, widely available for a range of prices in stores everywhere.

Simmer

Submerge the food inside a SousVide Supreme water oven that has been brought to the targeted water temperature by filling with water, entering the temperature on the control panel, and pressing “start.” Allow 15-20 minutes for the water to heat. Less time will be needed if you start with hot tap water.

Once the food is in the bath, put the lid in place and relax! For most recipes, setting the timer is unnecessary. Food can cook for several hours without overcooking. Some foods can cook for several days. There is no need to adjust the food, stir the water, or regulate the temperature—the SousVide Supreme maintains the target temperature with a high degree of accuracy and within a narrow one-degree range.

Sear or Sauce

While some foods, such as vegetables, are ready to eat as is, meats typically benefit from a quick sear on the stove or grill, or with a heat torch. After removing food from the pouch, searing it for just a minute or two carmelizes and browns the surface, providing a traditional appearance, taste, and texture on the outside. A separately–cooked sauce can be used to complement your culinary tour de force.

Serve

Dish up the sous vide meal, and enjoy. You can remove the food when you are ready to eat. There is no risk of overcooking or drying out the food, even if you leave it in the SousVide Supreme for hours past the planned cooking time. Working overtime? Guests late to arrive for the party? With the SousVide Supreme, your meal will always be on time and cooked perfectly.
