FILL THE COOKING CONTAINER WITH WATER
• The water level should be above the MIN level mark
as indicated on the precision cooker and below the
MAX level mark. Ensure you leave enough room in
the container for food to be added.
• Verify periodically to ensure that the water level
remains above the food and the MIN level mark.
• If additional water is needed, heat it on the
stovetop or in the kettle to approximate
ly the same
temperature (but not hotter) as the water in the
cooking container to avoid cooling the water.
PLUG THE SOUS VIDE PRECISION COOKER
• The appliance must be plugged in a 120V AC
wall outlet. A “beep“ will sound.
• Press the Start /Stop button
to enter SV
(SOUS VIDE) program after plugging the appliance.
PLACE THE FOOD TO BE COOKED IN A VACUUM
SEALED BAG OR IN A RESEALABLE FREEZER BAG
• Spices or marinades can be added prior to placing the food in the bag or to sealing.
• Oxygen and moisture in air causes food to degrade and lose flavor, texture and
nutritional value. Therefore, to capture the taste and the nutritional quality, sous vide
cooking requires food to be vacuu
m sealed or placed in resealable freezer bags.
• If you are using a vacuum sealer, the seal will be created by the vacuum sealer after
the air has been removed. Commercial quality vacuum systems remove air and
moisture before sealing items airtight to create a commercial quality vacuum.
• Bags that are heat-safe, BPA free and PVC free are safe for sous vide cooking. Most
name-brand resealable freezer
bags as well as the bags sold for vacuum sealing can
be used.
• Ensure food placed in resealable freezer bags are not overcrowded.
• Ensure that the food bags are clean and have not been contaminated by dirt or other
food contaminants.
• If the food bag floats above water, use a large, heavy metal spoon, plate or any other
heat resistant utensil to weigh the bag down in order to keep food submerged.
•
Use proper precautions while preparing food to prevent cross contamination.
