Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

With this gentle cooking method, food

is cooked slowly and at a low, constant

temperature in vacuum packaging.
With vacuum cooking, no moisture

evaporates during cooking and all

nutrients and flavours are retained.
The cooking result has an intensive

taste and food is cooked evenly.

Use only fresh food which is in a

good condition.
Ensure hygienic conditions and that

food has not been out of the

refrigerator too long, e.g. during

transportation.

Use only heat-stable, boiling-

resistant vacuum bags.
Do not cook food in the sales

packaging, such as vacuum-packed

frozen food as it is possible that the

packaging used is not suitable for

vacuum cooking.
Use the vacuum bag only once.

Vacuum-seal the food in a chamber

system vacuum sealer only.
