Sous Vide Safety

Before moving into other areas of the sous vide process, I want to talk about sous vide safety. The main areas we will look at is the Danger Zone, Temperature Vs Time, and Plastic Safety.

I do think it’s important to point out that sous vide is no more or less safe than other methods of cooking. There’s a lot of talk about the safety of sous vide, but it’s just as easy to make yourself sick by under-cooking a chicken in the oven or not pasteurizing grilled pork. So don’t be intimidated, once you know a few rules of thumb you will be all set. And what you learn for sous vide is also applicable to all of your cooking.
