Sous-vide
Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking in a vacuum
at low temperatures between 50 and 95C and in
100% steam.
Sous-vide cooking is a gentle method of cooking meat,
fish, vegetables and desserts.
A chamber vacuum-sealing machine is used to heat-
seal the food in a special air-tight, heat-resistant va-
cuum-sealing bag.
The protective envelope of the vacuum-sealing bag re-
tains the nutrients and flavours. The low temperatures
and the direct transfer of heat allow precisely controlled
cooking in order to achieve the desired cooking res-
ults. It is almost impossible to overcook the food.
Sous-vide cooking tips

– The appliance can cook up to 2kg of food sous-
vide.
