approximate values. As a general rule, the lower
the cooking temperature the longer the cooking
time.

• Seasoning
Season with care. Low cooking temperatures
intensify the characteristic taste of seasonings.
When vacuum cooking be sure to add the exact
amount of alcohol, fumet, essence or reduction!
• Preserving fruit/vegetables
Cover the food with hot or cold liquid, depen-
ding on the firmness of the raw product and the
type of preserve you want. The diameter of the
preserving jars used should not exceed 100 mm.
The cooking temperature will depend on the type
of product (ripeness, size of pieces).
Approximate temperature: 74 to 99 °C.
• Advantages:
– Firm textured fillings.
– Products have intenser taste and aroma.
– Stock loss very low in fatty material.
Approximate temperature: 72 to 80 °C.
• Cook direct in the serving dish,
e.g. fish.
