Sous vide cooking using thermal immersion circulator machines. Sous vide (/ s uː ˈ v iː d /; French for 'under vacuum' [1]), also known as low-temperature, long-time (LTLT) cooking, [2] [3] [4] is a method of cooking invented by the French chef Georges Pralus in 1974, [5] [6] in which food is placed in a plastic pouch or a glass jar and cooked in a water bath for longer than usual cooking ...
The process of osmosis over a semipermeable membrane.The blue dots represent particles driving the osmotic gradient. Osmosis (/ ɒ z ˈ m oʊ s ɪ s /, US also / ɒ s-/) [1] is the spontaneous net movement or diffusion of solvent molecules through a selectively-permeable membrane from a region of high water potential (region of lower solute concentration) to a region of low water potential ...
Osmoregulation is the active regulation of the osmotic pressure of an organism's body fluids, detected by osmoreceptors, to maintain the homeostasis of the organism's water content; that is, it maintains the fluid balance and the concentration of electrolytes (salts in solution which in this case is represented by body fluid) to keep the body fluids from becoming too diluted or concentrated.
A method of cooking where a container of food is placed in or above boiling water in order to heat gradually or to keep warm. [5] baking barding Wrapping meat in fat prior to roasting. [6] barbecuing Cooking meat or fish slowly over a barbecue grill with indirect heat and smoke. basting Periodically pouring liquid over food as it roasts. [7 ...
The increased salinity of the cell fluid causes the cell to absorb water from the brine via osmosis. [2] The salt introduced into the cell denatures its proteins. [2] The proteins coagulate, forming a matrix that traps water molecules and holds them during cooking. [6] This prevents the meat from dehydrating.

Using the water bath technique for low-acid foods (foods with pH greater than 4.6). [15] Otherwise correct water bath or pressure canning but processing for too little time, the wrong pressure, or not considering variations in time/pressure due to altitude. Re-using one-use seals; Using cracked or chipped jars
