Start Up Guide
THE ART OF SOUS VIDE COOKING:
This method of cooking achieves perfectly cooked meals every time
with no risk of over or under cooking. Gourmet chefs have used this
technique to prepare everything from meat, to eggs and even fruits and
vegetables for over a century. The sous vide cooking method retains
all of the food's nutrients and juices making it healthier and tastier than
traditional cooking methods. Now from the comfort of your own home,
you too can cook like a professional chef, all that is needed is a sous
vide immersion cooker, a resealable plastic bag and a pot of water.
PREPPING YOUR FOOD:
Place food into a BPA-free resealable plastic bags. Add spices or
condiments into the bag if desired (see Temperature and Time guide
for some suggestions). When using spices and condiments a little bit
goes a long way, experiment to find out your favorite seasonings and
flavor intensities. You can also add a small amount of butter or oil to
enhance flavor. It is important to remove as much air as possible from
the bag see page 20 for info on manual air removal.
FINISHING TOUCHES:
Many chefs like to give meat a quick sear to add grill marks and a crisp
outer texture. Heat a small amount of butter or oil in a hot skillet and
sear for 30 seconds on each side. For more tips and hints see page 22.
