Description
Sous‑vide sear cooks protein at a precise temperature and then sears it to create a uniform doneness and a flavorful crust.
Technical
The method relies on controlled protein denaturation and collagen gelatinization at low temperatures, followed by a high‑temperature Maillard reaction during the sear. This chemistry produces melanoidins and volatile flavor compounds that give the crust its characteristic aroma and taste while preserving moisture inside the meat.
