6- & 8-Quart Emeril Lagasse Pressure Air Fryer™
Sous Vide
Using traditional cooking methods, heat is
transferred from a hot burner or oven to a pan
and then to your food, which is heated from the
outside to the middle. Using guesswork and a little
luck, you sometimes get good results, but the food
is often overdone on the outside and sometimes
undercooked toward the center. The heat generated
by a pan or air inside an oven is usually much hotter
than it needs to be. If you don’t remove the food at
precisely the right time, results will be inconsistent.
Sous vide cooking utilizes precise temperature
control to produce results that you cannot achieve
through any other cooking technique. Set up the
Emeril Lagasse Pressure Air Fryer as shown in
this manual; place your seasoned food in a slider,
snap shut, or vacuum-sealable food storage
bag; place the bag in the water; and set the time
and temperature. Your food will cook to perfect
doneness. Once cooked, you can leave the food in
the water bath until you are ready to serve.
NOTE:
Is it suggested not to keep food heated
at the temperature beyond the completion of its
cooking cycle. Doing so can cause a loss of flavor
or texture.
1.
Put seasoned food in a sealable bag(s).
2.
Remove as much air as possible from
the bags(s) before sealing. You may use
a vacuum sealer for best results.
3.
Pour water into the Inner Pot, being careful not
to add so much water that the water passes
the FULL CUP Line when the bags are added.
NOTE:
You can place the food bags in the Inner
Pot first and then add the water to ensure that
the water does not fill above the FULL CUP
Line. Then, remove the bags before beginning
the cooking cycle and preheating the water.
4.
Press the Sous Vide Button and use the
Program Dial to choose the desired cooking
preset time. You may choose between the
SHORT, MED, or LONG default time settings
or press the Timer Button to adjust the time to
a custom time setting. Then, press the Temp
Button to adjust the cooking temperature
to your desired temperature.
NOTE:
The SHORT, MED, and LONG settings
are default times. You still need to adjust
the temperature to the desired doneness.
5.
Press the Program Dial to begin cooking cycle.
The LCD Display will turn orange. Once the
desired cooking temperature has been reached,
Unit will beep and the timer will begin counting
down.
6.
Carefully place the food bag in the water.
Make sure you don't drop the bag in the water.
7.
Once the timer has completed, the LCD Display
will turn blue and the Unit will maintain the
desired temperature (DO NOT press the Keep
Warm Button). Use tongs to remove the sealed
bag with food. Do not use your hands because
the water will be hot.
