Sous-vide, French for “under vacuum,” is a cooking technique pioneered by Cuisine Solutions in which food is vacuum-sealed and slow-cooked in water at constant low temperature until it’s evenly cooked through. This innovative method, which is used by top chefs in some of the world’s finest restaurants, consistently produces excellent flavors and food textures while maintaining the natural integrity of foods.
“This partnership between the world leader in travel catering and the world leader in high quality sous-vide products marks a significant step in the expanded use of high-quality sous-vide products and the growth of Cuisine Solutions,” said Felipe Hasselmann, President of Cuisine Solutions.
“We are excited to partner with Cuisine Solutions. Sous-vide products are increasingly recognized by our customers as an excellent solution for providing premium cabin meals with superb textures and flavors consistently across their networks,” said Doug Goeke, gategroup Senior Vice President and President of its Airline Solutions North America business.
