Hints and Tips
With your Sous Vide you can create a wide variety
of meals. Various foods take different times to
cook perfectly to your individual taste, so
sometimes it may take a little trial and error to get
the cooking times right for you.
Capacity

Don’t overfill or under fill your Sous Vide unit.
Ensure the level is between the FILL
(minimum) and MAX markings on the inside of
the cooking pan. Always ensure that the water
covers the food pouches. When using

To speed up the time needed for the unit to
reach the desired Sous Vide temperature, fill
with warm (not hot) water.
Food

Cuts of Meat. Sous Vide is perfect for the
cheaper, tough cuts of meats, as the lengthy
cooking process tenderises these cuts and
enhances the flavours. Note that thinner cuts
of meat will cook more quickly.

Evenly cooked food. To ensure food cooks
evenly in the same amount of time, we
recommend food is cut to similar thicknesses/
sizes.
Lid

Condensation can accumulate on the inside of
the lid, reducing your vision. Carefully tilt the
lid away from you so that the condensation
falls back into the pan.

Lifting the lid. Both sous vide and slow cooker
cooking methods use low temperatures and
therefore they do not recover lost heat quickly.
If you need to lift the lid, do so quickly to
minimise heat loss.
Food Safety Guidelines for Sous Vide Cooking
CAUTION. Food cooked using the Sous Vide
method of cooking is not recommended for
consumption by those in an ‘at risk’ category
(low immune deficiency):
• Pregnant women
• Small children
• Elderly
• Those suffering from illness/disease
Cleaning
Cleaning should only be carried out when the
Sous Vide is switched off and the plug removed
from the socket. Allow the water to cool, and then
pour out. Do not leave water sitting in the pan.
Allow the unit to completely cool before cleaning.
Do not use the removable cooking pan on the
stovetop, inside a microwave oven or inside an
oven. Use the pan only inside the Sous Vide unit.
The lid and the removable cooking pan are
dishwasher safe for added convenience. Place the
lid on the upper rack of your dishwasher. To
remove food that is cooked onto the bottom of the
removable cooking pan, soak the pan in warm
water before cleaning. Dry thoroughly before
replacing the pan in the unit.
Wipe the exterior of the Sous Vide with a damp
cloth and polish dry.
DO NOT use harsh
abrasives, scourers or chemicals to clean any part
of the Sous Vide as these will damage the
surfaces.
Do not immerse the Sous Vide unit in
water or place in a dishwasher
Environment
Do not throw away the appliance with the normal
household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in
at an official collection point for recycling. By doing
this, you help to preserve the environment.
