Cooking guide

Different types of meat are ideal to cook using the sous vide method as they get more tender and flavour filled. Also fish, eggs and vegetables can be cooked with a perfect result. The cooking time depends on the thickness of the food, rather than the weight of the food.

Food preparation

• All food items to be used for cooking using the Sous Vide method should be of the highest quality and absolutely fresh.
• Ensure that all meat and seafood has been stored below 5 °C before preparation begins.
• Make sure that the food pouches are clean and have not been contaminated by dirt or other food contaminants.
• Use detergent and warm water to wash the food preparation area.
• Separate the raw ingredient preparation area from the finished product area.
• Wash hands well before commencing any food preparation.
• Ensure that the cooking pouch is completely sealed before cooking commences.
• Ensure that the cooking pouch is still completely sealed when cooking has finished.
• If the food is not going to be consumed immediately, plunge the pouch containing the food into iced water to reduce temperature quickly. Refrigerate until required.

Steps to Sous vide cooking

1. Seasoning the foodTo enhance the flavour of the food, marinade or add spices, herbs, butter or oil to the vacuum pouch prior to sealing.
2. Vacuum sealing the foodSous vide cooking requires food to be vacuum sealed inside pouches to ensure excess air and moisture are removed, so the natural taste and nutritional quality of the food is captured. If a vacuum sealer is not available ordinary plastic bags can be used as an alternative. Make sure all air is removed by placing the bag in water with the opening above the surface. Most air will escape that way. Seal it with a knot.
3. Cooking the foodWhen the set water temperature has been reached, place the pouches carefully in the water. Ensure the pouches are fully submerged, and that water can easily circulate around the pouches.
4. Searing the foodWhen sous vide cooking is completed, finish off by searing to improve the appearance and flavour of the food. This is particularly suited for meat and fish. Remove the food from the pouch. Quickly sear in a hot pan.

Note

Holding time represents the longest suggested period of time the food can remain in the water before the texture starts to change.Longer cooking times may result in an altered texture of finished foods.These times and temperatures are guidelines. Further cooking may be required to achieve desired result.All thicknesses are measured once the food has been vacuum sealed.Thinner cuts of meat will cook more quickly.

Troubleshooting

• Error code El (water low sensor)The water level is lower than the MIN mark on the sous vide cooker. Turn off and add enough water.
• Error code E2 (open loop)The circulator will stop if the temperature sensor is caught in an open loop caused by a loose connection wire. Contact the retailer if this error message is displayed.
• Error Code E3 (faulty temperature sensor)The circulator will stop if the temperature sensor is broken and/or shortcircuits. Contact the retailer if this error message is displayed.
• Error code E4 (dry boil / temperature high sensor)This happens if the water level is too low and the water low sensor doesn’t work. Turn off, fill up more water and let the cooker cool down.
