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 (fig. D)
Place the bag onto a flat 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 (fig. 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 fill 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 different 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 flash "----". This indicates that the heat is off and the appliance is ready to be programmed.
3.
Connect the temperature probe to the socket on the side of the control panel (fig. F).
4.
Put the bagged food into the cooking pot ensuring that it is fully submerged. Add additional water if needed. If you are putting in several items at
once, use the provided rack to keep them separated.
5.
Fit lid and lock it.
6.
Put the temperature probe into the sous vide insertion point in the lid. Make sure that the probe goes into the water and not the food.
