Please note that the times shown in the operating instructions and the recipe booklet
are recommended minimum times that the food should stay in the device,
when the
appliance has already been filled with hot (tap) water.
Filling the appliance
with cold water will increase the times by approximately 30 minutes. Always, fill the
sous-vide cooker, including the food, with water up to the marking “max”. Thus, it
can be ensured that the set temperatures can be kept within the sous-vide cooking
field of 65°C with a precision of +/- 0,1°C. The food that is being cooked can be put
into the water bath immediately after filling, and can remain in the water for well
beyond the specified minimum times without the required core temperature rising
above the temperature setting due to the sous-vide method.
Steba tip
If you insert several vacuum bags with different cooking times and qualities of meat,
you should mark them previously. At 62°C you can leave the meat in the pot and
remove any if necessary, without any change of the consistency of the meat.
Accessories
Use the attached tray to lift the food out of the water. Please use
oven gloves for this.
Further processing
Preservation:
Cool meat in ice water immediately after pasteu-
rising.
It can then be stored in the fridge for several days (fridge temperature of 7°C = 5
days, fridge temperature of 5°C = 10 days) without loss of quality or frozen in the
freezer compartment.
To thaw, place the vacuum-packed food in the device at approx. 55°C and thaw it out
in the bag. Then remove from bag, eat immediately or briefly
sear.
Eating immediately:
Of course, the meat can also be eaten immediately after Sous-
Vide cooking, or seared on each side for no more than 1 minute in an extremely hot
frying pan with a little sunflower oil. The shorter the frying time, the juicier the meat.
The meat can also be brushed with oil and scorched with a butane gas burner. Now
season with salt.
Allow meat to relax for approx. 2 minute before cutting.
Backwards cooking:
If the raw meat is briefly fried, seasoned and vacuum packed,
it is ready for eating after SousVide cooking.
You can also prepare a seasoned red wine / balsamic vinegar stock, add it to the meat,
vacuum pack and cook using SousVide.
