Sous vide cooking was initially pioneered for industrial food sterilization in the 1960s and 1970s, but it exploded in popularity after NASA adapted similar technology for space food preservation in the 2000s, influencing everyday appliances. Today, it's estimated that over 70% of professional kitchens use sous vide, yet it can also perfectly cook a steak at home with just a simple water bath setup.
