Meals are one of the most important parts of any outdoor adventure, but they're often considered an afterthought. When you're ready to take your outdoor meals to the next level, sous vide meal prep recipes are the perfect solution. With the right tools, you can develop moist and tasty outdoor meals that will rival gourmet cooking.
Understanding the Functionality of the PacBak Vacuum Sealer
The right vacuum sealer is a crucial tool for preparing the ideal sous vide meal outdoors. You can even use it to safely store your catch for the freshest meal possible when you return to camp.
The ROAM 18-V Portable Vacuum Sealer from PacBak is the perfect outdoor companion for sous vide meal prep and cooking. With a compact size and weight of less than four pounds, it's the ultimate solution for on-the-go preservation outdoors. The rechargeable 14.6-volt battery charges in under an hour and delivers over 40 seals per charge, allowing you to use it for all your meal prep needs while camping.
Beyond the allure of fresh food for all your outdoor adventures, vacuum sealing pairs perfectly with sous vide meal planning. Your vacuum seal bags are the ideal vessel for tender, and moist sous vide meat.
Cooking Sous Vide Outdoors
You already know that vacuum sealing is the best way to safely seal and store fresh game and fish. PacBak's portable sealer is designed to fit into special storage areas in the PacBak coolers and backpacks you use while fishing, hunting, and camping. When you seal your fresh catch for storage, the bag can later be used for cooking.
When you're ready to cook, placing your meat in a fresh vacuum seal bag will allow you to add seasonings, herbs, or oils for extra flavor. Remove as much air as possible when sealing the bag to ensure the meat will stay completely submerged while cooking. Set your timer when cooking starts and enjoy your time outdoors while your meal cooks to the perfect temperature with virtually no oversight.
Enjoying Your Perfect Sous Vide Meal
Sous vide prep is the ideal way to cook perfectly fresh dishes, no matter the environment. Yet, with the right approach, you can truly take your entire meal to the next level during every outdoor adventure. Try these tips to create the ultimate sous vide meal.
- Prepare veggies in separate bags to pull from your cooler and enjoy with your main dish. Vacuum seal your vegetables with desired seasonings then cook them at the recommended temperature while preparing the meat.
- For a perfectly crisp crust, take the meat from the bag after cooking, use paper towels to dry, and sear on a hot griddle or iron skillet for about one minute per side.
- When you want sous vide meals for your camping trip but aren't planning to fish or hunt, you can get the meat ready before your trip. Simply remove the bags from the cooler when you're ready to cook.
