Reverse Searing
Searing your meat after cooking, rather than before, is a great way to boost flavors.
After sous vide cooking, remove the meat from the cooking pouch and gently pat
it dry. Then, sear it lightly in the inner pot with the Sauté Smart Programme, or use
a pan, blow torch or grill.
Ingredients and Seasonings
• Use high quality, fresh ingredients when cooking sous vide to ensure
the best possible flavour.
• When seasoning with salt, it is better to use less than you might add
normally, especially with meats, poultry and fish. Instead, add salt to
taste after cooking.
• Use garlic powder rather than raw garlic. Raw garlic can become bitter
and overpowering when cooked sous vide. Pure and high-quality garlic
powder provides the best results.
Note:
Do not use garlic salt in place of garlic powder!
Storing Cooked Food
If your dish is not going to be consumed immediately, plunge pouches into
ice water to reduce temperature quickly, then keep refrigerated until ready to
consume.
CAUTION

(water and food pouches) leave at least 5 cm of
space between the brim of the inner pot and the water line.
