Cooking Menus Overview continued
of the food is captured. Vacuum sealing
also assists in opening the pores in food
such as meat, poultry and seafood so that
marinades and seasonings are more readily
absorbed for highlighted flavour.
Oxygen and moisture in air cause food
to degrade and lose flavour, texture and
nutritional value. Commercial quality
vacuum systems remove air and moisture
before sealing items airtight to create
a commercial quality vacuum. We
recommend Sunbeam FoodSaver vacuum
sealers and FoodSaver bags and rolls.
Step 3. Cooking your food
When the water temperature has been
reached in the sous vide, place the
pouches carefully in the water. Ensure the
pouches are fully submerged in water, and
that water can easily circulate around the
pouches for even cooking.
Step 4. Searing your food
When sous vide cooking is completed,
you may wish to finish off by searing to
improve the appearance and flavour of
the food. This is particularly suited to
meats. Remove the food from the pouch.
Quickly sear meat in a hot pan. This will
caramelise the fats and proteins for extra
flavour.

Food Preparation
