• After the keep warm setting has been on for 4 hours, the unit will stop heating and return to the default display: “----”.
• Note: Do not keep foods on the keep warm setting for more than 4 hours.
• Unplug the appliance when not in use and always allow it to completely cool before cleaning and storing.
Tips
• The approximate maximum capacity for roasting is a 1.8–2.2 kg. chicken or a 1.3–1.8 kg. roast.
• If you desire the deeper avor of browned meat use the sear function before roasting to brown the meat.
• Always roast with the lid on. Open the lid as little as possible to ensure even cooking and to keep heat from escaping.
• Using a meat thermometer can help signicantly improve and give a more accurate end result.
SOUS VIDE
For Sous Vide cooking you will need a bag or pouch to put the ingredients into from which you can remove as much of the air
as possible, and then seal.
PREPARATION
Place the ingredients into your chosen bag or pouch. Use one bag per portion. Try to keep portions similar in size. Before
sealing the bag, you need to remove as much air out of it as possible.
For ‘Zipper lock’ style bags:
1. Hand Method (g. D)
Place the bag onto a at surface and, using your hand, carefully push out as much of the air from the bag as you can. Be
careful not to squash or damage the ingredients when you do this. Then, close the seal on the bag.
2. Water Immersion Method (g. E)
Fill a container big enough to hold the zip bag and ingredients with cold water. Put the ingredients into the bag and close the
seal almost all of the way just leaving a small opening at one corner. Slowly push the bag into the water leaving the unsealed
corner sticking up out of the water. When you do this, make sure than no water accidentally enters the bag. As you immerse
the bag, the water will push almost all of the remaining air out. Finally, seal the corner and remove the bag from the container.
For Silicon bags:
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the bag.
For Vacuum pack machines:
A purpose made vacuum sealer suitable for food use is perfect for sous vide cooking. Use the correct bags as recommended
by the manufacturer, and follow the instructions that come with the machine.
USING THE SOUS VIDE MODE
1. Add hot water and ll the cooking pot to approximately half way. Use water from the hot water tap (not boiling). Try and
get the temperature of the water as close as you can to the temperature you are cooking at as this will cut down any
unnecessary waiting time. Use a mixture of hot and cold water as required. If the water that you put in the cooker is at
a temperature that is very dierent from the temperature you will be cooking at, the appliance will take a lot longer to
either heat the water up or cool it down to the selected temperature.
2. Plug in the appliance. The main control display will ash “----”. This indicates that the heat is o and the appliance is ready
to be programmed.
3. Put the bagged food into the cooking pot ensuring that it is fully submerged. Add additional water if needed.
4. Cover with the glass lid.
5. Press the Sous Vide button.
6. The default cooking temperature is set at 57°C. To change the temperature, use the u and d buttons. The range is
approx. 38 to 96°C.
7. Next, press the Time button. The default cooking time is 1 hour. To adjust the cooking time, use the u and d buttons.
The maximum cooking time is 20 hours.
8. Press the I/O button. The display will stop ashing and the cooking pot will start to heat up.
9. At this point the water will start heating up to the target temperature. The amount of time that takes varies. The bagged
food can stay in the water during the heating up time as long as the set temperature is 55°C or above. The cooking cycle
timer will only begin to count down once the water has reached the target temperature.
• When the cooking time has ended, the unit will beep three times and automatically switch to the keep warm setting. The
display will ash and start counting up from zero (00:00) to 4 hours (04:00).
• After the keep warm setting has been on for 4 hours, the unit will stop heating and return to the default display: “----”.
