Operating your Sous Vide Stick
Once your Sous Vide Stick is assembled properly, you are ready to begin cooking.
1.
Fill the cooking pan with an adequate amount of water. Ensure the water does not surpass the
MAX fill line on the Sous Vide Stick, but is above the MIN fill line and will cover the food pouches
once submerged.
To speed up the preheating process, fill the pan with warm water.
2.
The default temperature setting is 133°F. To adjust the temperature manually, hold the °F
button for 5 seconds to choose between the Fahrenheit and Celsius degree scale. The
temperature setting should be flashing on the screen; if not, press the Temp button until it does.
Press the + or – buttons on either side of the Start/Stop button on the control panel once to
increase or decrease the temperature by 1°F, or hold down for rapid adjustment. Hold the Temp
button to set the displayed temperature.
3.
The default cooking time is 8 hours. To adjust the time manually, press the Time button so that
the time flashes on the LED screen, then press the + or – buttons on either side of the Start/Stop
button. Either press the + button once to increase or the – button to decrease the time by 1
minute up to 2 hours, then in 30 minutes intervals up to 72 hours, or hold down for rapid
adjustment. Hold the Time button to set the displayed time.
4.
Once the appropriate temperature and time has been selected (see
Settings pg11
), press
Start/Stop. The Sous Vide Stick will start to preheat the water in the cooking pan.
The temperature displayed on the LED screen during preheating and cooking is the
temperature of the water at that moment.
Pressing the Temp button during preheating or cooking shows the required temperature
setting onscreen for 5 seconds.
5.
While the Sous Vide Cooker is preheating, prepare the food to be cooked (see
Preparing Food
pg9
). Slice the food to the recommended thickness (see
Settings pg11
) before vacuum sealing
the portions inside pouches.
You may add marinade, spices, herbs, butter or oil to the vacuum pouches before
sealing.
6.
Once the required temperature is reached, the Sous Vide Stick will beep three times. Gently
place the sealed food pouches in the water with a pair of tongs. The timer will start counting
down automatically.
Ensure that the pouches are covered by the water, that they are separate and that
water can circulate evenly between them.
To reset the temperature and time while cooking, press Start/Stop, choose the new
settings using the Temp and Time buttons, then Start/Stop again.
