The intention is to cook the item evenly, ensuring that the inside is properly cooked without overcooking the outside, and retain moisture. History[edit] The method was first described by Sir Benjamin Thompson (Count Rumford) in 1799 (although he used air as the heat transfer medium).[2] It was re-discovered by American and French engineers in the mid-1960s and developed into an industrial food preservation method.[3] The method was adopted by Georges Pralus in 1974 for the Restaurant Troisgros (of Pierre and Michel Troisgros) in Roanne, France.
