In order to ensure all preservation advantages and consumption
benefits, we invite you to check the provided quick guide, which
refers to the specific temperature required for each type of food,
preservation and sterilization modes.
In order to preserve food in the healthiest, safest and best way, it is
necessary to follow these steps:
1. Use the function "sterilize" to sterilize recipients*
2. Portion pre-cooked food
3. Pack food in suitable sterilized recipients or vacuum bags**
4. Select the most suitable function according to the type of food***
5. Start preservation****
6. Consume food*****
NOTE:
Sterilization modes: including also tips and tricks.
*Sterilization process must be applied only in half cavity mode.
**Recipients can vary according to the type of food. In particular:
• Liquid or semi-liquid preparations (ex. Soups): use rigid
containers as jars and cover the surface with some oil. Reduce at
minimum the volume occupied by liquid. Alternatively, it is possible
to use vacuum bags. Sous vide kit with related user manual is
included in the product only for specific models.
• Solid-malleable preparations (ex. lasagna, flans): use pans, trays
or recipients hermetically covered.
• Solid-shaped preparations (ex. meat, fish): use only vacuum
bags. Avoid preserving solid preparations partially immerged in
liquids. It is necessary to preserve separately solids and liquids and
then mix them.
• Dry preparations: use vacuum bags.
TIP:
***It is suggested to preserve meat, cereals and legumes at 70°C
(preserve + soften), all the other preparations at 63°C (preserve
function).
