SOUS-VIDE FUNCTION
• Also known as “precision cooking”, this cooking mode consists in
slow-cooking vacuum-sealed food at a low and accurately controlled
temperature, to achieve a food texture that can be be obtained only in
such precise cooking method.
• This function can be used for vegetables, meat and poultry, but also
fish, seafood and fruit.
How does it work?
Preparing your food
• Purchase good quality raw food. If the food has visible spoilage,
contamination with filth, discoloration, bad odors or taste, do not use it.
• Pre-season your food just before sealing if needed (depending on your
taste).
• Place the food you wish to cook in a vaccuum-sealed bag or a heavy-
duty Ziploc bag, and make sure to remove all the air from the pouch.
• If you are using a heavy-duty Ziploc bag, you can remove the air by
slowly submerging the pouch containing the food half-way into cold
water, and close it once the air is removed and the food inside is
tightened by the water pressure.

of food.
