Food Cooking tips
Meat ¡ Dab the meat with a tea towel be-
fore placing it into hot oil, in order
to avoid fat spitting out of the pan.
¡ Sear the meat at a very high tem-
perature for a few seconds on
each side. This gives the meat a
nice crust and the flavours you
would expect from frying, without
overcooking it.
Fish ¡ Season the fish and coat with hot
butter.
¡ To give the fish a nice crust and
the flavours you would expect
from frying, sear it for a few
seconds on each side.
¡ Fry the food for longer if has not
been sufficiently well cooked dur-
ing the sous-vide cooking stage.
¡ Serve the fish on pre-heated
plates and with a hot sauce or but-
ter, as sous-vide cooking takes
place at low temperatures.
Vegetables ¡ Sear the vegetables briefly to give
them the flavours you would ex-
pect from frying.
¡ Season the vegetables or mix
them with other ingredients.
