1 Meat and seafood

One of the main advantages of sous vide cooking is that it preserves the natural flavor and texture of meat and seafood, so you want to start with the best quality possible. Look for meat and seafood that are raised or caught sustainably, without hormones, antibiotics, or additives. You can buy them from local farmers, fishermen, or trusted suppliers, or order them online from reputable sources. Choose cuts or portions that are uniform in size and thickness, and avoid bones, skin, or excess fat that can interfere with the cooking process. If you are using frozen meat or seafood, make sure to thaw them completely before sealing them in the bag.

The best seafood is only as good as the people who have handled it from sea to plate. Maintain good temperature control and good handling and you shouldn't have any issues along with the same advice as above regarding sourcing. Higher welfare, GM free, antibiotic free, hormone free. If seafood has these in, it tells you a story that the business or supplier is focussed on cost NOT quality.

2 Vegetables and fruits

Sous vide cooking can also enhance the flavor and texture of vegetables and fruits, but you need to be careful with the temperature and time settings. You want to use fresh, organic, and seasonal produce that are free of bruises, blemishes, or mold. You can buy them from local farmers markets, co-ops, or CSA boxes, or grow them in your own garden. Cut them into even pieces that fit in the bag, and wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides. Some vegetables and fruits, such as potatoes, carrots, apples, and pears, may need a higher temperature and longer time than others, such as asparagus, broccoli, strawberries, and grapes, to become tender and flavorful.

3 Herbs and spices

Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor and aroma to your sous vide dishes, but you need to use them sparingly and wisely. You want to use fresh, organic, and high-quality herbs and spices that are not stale, faded, or contaminated. You can buy them from specialty stores, online shops, or grow them in your own herb garden. Chop or crush them finely to release their oils, and add them to the bag with the food. However, be careful not to overdo it, as some herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, garlic, and pepper, can become overpowering or bitter if cooked for too long or at too high a temperature.

4 Dairy and eggs

Dairy and eggs are also suitable for sous vide cooking, but they require some special attention and care. You want to use dairy and eggs that are fresh, organic, and pasteurized, and avoid any that are cracked, spoiled, or expired. You can buy them from local farms, dairies, or grocery stores, or use your own backyard chickens. For dairy products, such as milk, cream, cheese, and butter, you need to use a lower temperature and shorter time than for other foods, and avoid overcooking or curdling them. For eggs, you can cook them in their shells or crack them into a jar or a bag, and adjust the temperature and time according to your preferred doneness.

5 Other ingredients

Besides the main ingredients, you may also want to use other ingredients, such as oils, vinegars, sauces, marinades, or stocks, to add more flavor and moisture to your sous vide dishes. You want to use high-quality and natural ingredients that are not processed, refined, or artificial. You can buy them from health food stores, online shops, or make them yourself. Add them to the bag with the food, but be careful not to add too much liquid, as it can dilute the flavor and create air pockets that can affect the cooking. You can also use vacuum sealers, zipper bags, or silicone bags that are designed for sous vide cooking, and avoid any plastic that contains BPA or other harmful chemicals.
