SOUS-VIDE INTENSIVE - 14 HOURS
OVERVIEW | START DATES+TUITION | APPLY NOW


overview

Through its uncanny ability to maintain food's original appearance and texture without losing nutrients, sous-vide, or vacuum bag cooking, is gaining ground in the most renowned restaurant kitchens. Our two-day program, designed to introduce working chefs to sous-vide and other low-temperature cooking techniques, explores how these techniques can be employed to enhance flavor and texture and to achieve results beyond the limits of traditional cooking methods. Get the advanced knowledge and skills you need to create unique dishes for your discerning clientele.

As a result of taking Sous-Vide Intensive you will learn:

  • Sous-vide techniques for meats, fish, sauces, stocks, vegetables and fruits
  • How to choose and use sous-vide equipment, including vacuum machines, bags, combi-ovens, circulators, hypodermic probe thermometers, and datalogger
  • How to cook-chill products
  • Direct-serve product (fish, meats, and vegetable) preparations
  • Sous-vide special effects, such as de-airing, texture modification, forming, and flash pickling
  • Safety and health issues, including non-regulated low temperature cooking and techniques not requiring a vacuum machine
  • HACCP plans and how to put them in place
