Preparing cooked food by sous vide is an alternative for the design of products that permit the consumer to eat quickly and practically, without losing the sensory and nutritional characteristics of foods. This study aimed to determine the sensory properties, the overall liking, and the consumer-consumption characteristics and predispositions regarding ready-to-eat high-nutritional-quality preparations made with locally produced vegetables and cooked by the sous vide technique. A vegetable millefeuille and a chicken and vegetable hamburger were prepared for sensory characterization. Questions related to the consumer's consumption characteristics and predisposition to purchase this type of product were incorporated into the survey. Consumers performed the sensory evaluation in their home, within the habitual living ambience where they consumed their usual diet. The results revealed that most consumers accepted both millefeuille (100 %) and chicken and vegetable hamburger (92 %) and also reported a predisposition for purchasing both preparations (87 % and 84 %, respectively). The main characteristics that made the consumption attractive were quality (95%), market availability (89 %), lack of practical cooking skills (87 %), the price (84 %), the shortness of time invested in preparation (78 %), and the consumer's occupation (73 %). These types of preparations constitute an innovative alternative for the design of products of higher nutritional quality, without ignoring the requirements for their consumption.
