USING THE SOUS VIDE MULTI COOKER
When used for the first time you may smell a light smoking smell, this is not unusual and will pass
after it is used a few times.
Your Sous Vide Multi Cooker has the following features:
When using the Sous Vide Function
Sous Vide is a way of slow-cooking vacuum-packed food at low temperatures over a long period.
Food retains its vitamins, natural flavour and succulence.
Lid: when turned over converts into a drip tray to provide a safe place to put the food pouches
after removing from the bath and transporting to the hob or grill to finish or to the worktop to
serve.
Inner pan Water bath: water should be added to the fill level and once food has been added it
should never exceed the maximum level
Rack: can be used to separate parcels from the base of the machine or to stand dishes on when
cooking desserts etc.
When using the Slow Cooker Function
Temperature Setting:
set the temperature at 70ºc to use the Sous Vide Multi Cooker as a slow
cooker.
Inner Pan: the inner pan has a non-stick lining and can be used directly on hobs (except induction)
to brown off meats , onions etc. prior to slow cooking.
