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 flavor 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 significantly improve and give a more accurate end result.
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.
