SOUS VIDE
What is Sous Vide?
In the Sous Vide method of cooking, food
is sealed inside a plastic bag immersed in
water and cooked at a lower temperature.
Sous Vide allows for greater control and
evenly cooked results. The Sous Vide
method holds food at the perfect level of
doneness for much longer than regular
cooking methods would allow.
What are the Basic Steps?
•
The food must be in a sealed plastic
bag or vacuum-sealed bag.
•
Submerge pouches into the water
bath after the liquid has reached your
desired temperature.
•
Cook for at least the minimum amount
of time called for in your recipe.
•
Remove each pouch carefully from
the water bath. Note: Meat, poultry,
or fish can be seared in a hot pan to
create a crisp surface immediately
before serving.
The Sous Vide Cooking Cycle
1.
Fill the Pan with Water. Place the
Pan into the Smart Cooker. Turn the
Program Dial to Sous Vide.
2.
Adjust the cooking time and
temperature and then press the
Program Dial to confirm.
3.
Cover with the Glass Lid.
4.
The appliance will beep once the water
reaches the desired temperature. Add
the sealed bags to the water. The timer
begins once the appliance has reached
the desired temperature and will beep
again once the timer has expired.
CAUTION:
Remove hot cooking bags with
plastic tongs to prevent piercing and burns
from hot water. Use oven mitts.
Tip
When using the Sous Vide function the timer will not begin counting down
until the desired temperature is reached. Reaching the desired temperature
may take 30 minutes or more. You can always check the temperature by
pressing the Actual Temp button on the control panel.
