Why FoodSaver® & Sous-Vide Cooking Are The Perfect Combination
In case you’ve never heard of Sous-Vide cooking, let me explain what it is and why it’s one of the best ways to cook food.
Sous-Vide Cooking
- Sous-Vide cooking is the process of sealing food in airtight plastic (usually a vacuum sealed bag) that is submerged and cooked in temperature-controlled water.
- The French term means “under vacuum”.
- Generally, the food (like proteins) are vacuum sealed with a variety of marinades, sauces, herbs, and spices and dropped into the sous-vide to cook.
- The prepared food has no contact with a heated metal surface, flames, steam, or smoke.
- The water inside the Sous-Vide never comes to a boil.
- Sous-Vide cooking uses a metal coil to warm the water to a constant temperature and never fluctuates to high or love extremes.
- The cooking process is gradual and controlled until the entire piece of protein reaches the temperature of the water.
- Cooking in a Sous-Vide takes longer to cook which means you will never have an overcooked piece of protein.
- Once the food has reached its desired temperature, the food is removed from the bag.
- The next step in the process would be to sear the food in a skillet or bake it in the oven for a few minutes to brown the tops of the meat.
- Sous-Vide cooking is widely used in restaurants and is a chef favorite way of cooking.
Now that you understand more about Sous-Vide cooking, here’s why using the FoodSaver® V4440 makes the perfect combination for sous-vide cooking!
How It Works – FoodSaver 2-in-1 Automatic Vacuum Sealing System
It’s a simple premise – the air is evacuated from the bag so that food is protected from the deteriorating effects of oxygen. Then, the FoodSaver creates an airtight seal to lock in freshness and protect food from spoiling.
The system includes vacuum seal bags, vacuum zipper bags, and containers that are designed to work together with vacuum sealers for optimal performance. It’s that easy!
This is how it comes shipped from Amazon.com. Everything neatly packed in one box and it’s literally open the box, plug it in, and get started making the most delicious Sous-Vide recipes ever!
FoodSaver® 3PK 11″ Vacuum Seal Rolls
The set includes 3 – 11″ Rolls with unique multi-layer construction and are BPA free! These bags are specifically designed to withstand boiling temperatures so there’s no worry for your sous-vide cooking. It’s also important to note that FoodSaver Rolls and Bags are safe to use and BPA-Free.
The bags are completely airtight, which delivers consistent cooking results and prevents floating during sous vide cooking – floating is an important factor when it comes to Sous-Vide cooking.
FoodSaver Vacuum Seal Rolls feature a multi-layer construction and powerful heat-seal that provides excellent durability to resist punctures and tearing while cooking. They are versatile enough to go straight from the freezer to a hot water bath, with no separate defrost required.
For best performance, it’s recommended that you use FoodSaver Vacuum Seal Rolls and Bags with a FoodSaver Vacuum Sealing System. They are available in a variety of sizes too!
FoodSaver® Vacuum Seal Rolls and Bags are a great option for preparing meats, seafood, vegetables, and so much more. And another amazing feature is they are safe for microwave, freezer, and refrigerator too!
Sealing your food with the FoodSaver and the FoodSaver Vacuum Seal Rolls is super easy too. All you do is measure the size bag you need, use the built-in cutting tool slider to cut the bag, season your food, slide the food inside the bag, push the start button which begins the air removal process and seal the bag closed. It’s that easy!
The key to Sous-Vide cooking is the bags. The FoodSaver® 3PK 11″ Vacuum Seal Rolls are a perfectly paired solution!

I have always wanted to try vacuum sealed food savers. It would be perfect for our family. Your recipe is perfect too Carolann.
I am trying to cut down my use of plastics. Are the vacuum ‘bags’ plastic?
Hi Patricia, I always look to cut down on plastics too. That’s another reason I love my Foodsaver. I can reuse the bags over and over and it helps protect my food and saves me lots of money that way. I am thrilled with this product and even got one for my son and his family now too! It’s my utmost favorite tool for 2018 and beyond! Thanks for stopping by.

OH my gosh, Sue. We LOVE this product and are saving money on our food already because of it. We love avocados and when we would open one, the other half would go bad so fast. Now, we seal the other half and it stays perfectly fresh for days! This is just one example of how awesome it is. It’s the best gadget I’ve owned in years. I hope you get to try one too Sue. I know your family will love it as much as we do.
Carolann
I need both of these gadgets. I used to have a really old food saver. I used it to package cards to sell but this looks much nicer and way bigger. It truly looks easy and a great way to cook. Even though it takes longer it seems like it would taste really good! This recipe looks amazing too. Thanks.
Yes, it does take longer but I view it the same as using a crock pot. It’s even faster than a crockpot too. I love this foodsaver. We’ve been using it for some many things and saving on our food bill too.
thanks, Michelle!
