Sous vide cooking, introduced, is a fairly new science, and chefs are still exploring its possibilities. Techniques will surely evolve and change in years to come.

Some of the main applications of sous vide cooking as it is practiced today are detailed in the sidebar. Please note temperature ranges are approximate. Immersion circulators are extremely accurate, and chefs may specify temperatures to within a fraction of a degree to get the precise results they want. Although not as precise as immersion circulators, combi ovens are also used for some sous vide cooking.
