At Calvetti Culinary Creations, we’re always innovating and trying new ideas, new dishes, and new flavors. As we round the corner into 2019, we’re excited for the 2019 food trends that will take the food and beverage industry by storm in the coming year. Some are comforting, some are just plain weird, but we’re ready to embrace the innovation and see what happens.
Our 6th and final video in the series: What is sous vide all about? It’s quality, consistency, and being ahead of the curve. Trust us – you’ve never tasted anything like it.
Before Fulton Market became the restaurant and corporate office mecca it is today, it was home to meatpackers and food distributors. Though many of the historic buildings in the district were built between 1880 and 1929, its roots go all the way back to 1850, when a municipal market hall was constructed in the middle of Randolph Street as a food market.
Calvetti Culinary Creations will take your concept and see it through to commercialization, producing chef-inspired memorable meals in the quantities you need.
One of the things I’m most proud of is our forkin’ fantastic team. CCC Executive Chef Jose E Ibarra Sr explains why we’re always willing to explore with new trends: “You can have something that’s great and it can get better.”
Want a cooking experience that’s reliable and consistent? Sous Vide does that for you. In fact, it ensures perfect, even cooking – and is largely hands off. With sous vide, you don’t have to constantly worry about over (or under) cooking: the beauty is that the method brings your food to an exact temperature and holds it.
The sous vide method can be used for a variety of dishes, from breakfast all the way to a satisfying dessert. Here are a couple of foods you might not realize are sous-vide worthy.
Eggs
Like Starbucks egg bites? Those are cooked via sous vide. Eggs are a fantastic food to cook using the sous vide method. If you want a temperature-controlled, soft-boiled consistency, sous vide is the way to do it.
Poultry
If there’s one food that will convince you that cooking it with the sous vide method is king, it’s a chicken breast. Think about it: typically, when chicken is cooked, it’s done using high heat because you want to make sure that it’s cooked all the way through. The result is dry chicken that you wouldn’t want to serve to anyone, let alone eat yourself. Cooking sous vide allows for a lower temperature, retaining moisture and flavor while cooking evenly from edge to center.
Fruit
You’ve never had dessert until you’ve tried fruit that’s been cooked sous vide. Unlike traditional roasting or poaching methods, sous vide allows for thorough cooking while still retaining the fruit’s original shape. If you’re looking to get really creative, add in syrup or spices to your sous vide bag (not too much, though, or you run the risk of over-flavoring).
Use sous vide for any meal and you’re guaranteed a delightful experience.
