7. VACUUM FOOD PACKAGING FOR “SOUS VIDE” 
COOKING METHOD 
With this method, the food sealed in the vacuum pouch is then slowly steam 
cooked or cooked in low temperature water. Vacuum is set at 99.9%, which is ideal for 
this cooking method. The benefits provided are many:  the flavour and texture of the food are 
better 
 both flavour and aromas are preserved, as the cooking process does not 
disperse them  The reduced loss of liquid makes the food softer and less dry. 
 Nutrients like minerals and vitamins are preserved by the sealed pouch.  You dont need to add oils or fats for 
cooking
