Answer 1

When you cook something on a pan or in an oven, it’s very easy to under or overcook food because the pan or oven is very hot and only heats up the outside of your food. In sous vide cooking, you can set a perfect temperature for your food and let the entire thing slowly get to that temperature without ot getting dry or burning on the outside.
