2.5. COOKING
It is important to keep the cook tank full of water to minimize the chance of boiling the appliance
dry and to keep the water at a level that will provide optimum cooking performance. To ensure
the quality of the food you cook in this appliance, follow the preparation instructions from the food
manufacturer.
2.5.1. COOKING TIPS
 Always follow the food manufacturer’s directions and only use vacuum-sealed products in this
appliance.
 Some products can be reheated and held at the same temperature. If this is the case, the
product may be held in this appliance while still
in its vacuum-sealed bag. No separate holding
device required.
 Product bag size can be important in reaching
the shortest retherm times. Thin bags typically
retherm faster then thicker ones.
 Always allow a gap between product bags. This
will allow the hot water to circulate around the
entire surface of the product bag, creating good
heat transfer and ultimately shorter retherm
times.
 Do NOT retherm in boiling water. Boiling water increases your energy and water
consumption and furthermore this appliance is NOT recommended for boiling.
 Always follow proper food safety. Refer to FDA and the food manufacturer’s guidelines for
proper handling of the vacuum-sealed product.
