Sous-vide cooking
Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking
under a vacuum at low temperatures.
Sous-vide cooking is a gentle, low-fat
method of preparing meat, fish, vegetables
and desserts. A vacuum-packing machine is
used to heat-seal the food in a special air-
tight, heat-resistant cooking bag.
W Health risk!
Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking at
low temperatures. As a result, it is important
that you always follow the application and
hygiene instructions below:
■ Use only fresh, good-quality food.
■ Wash and disinfect your hands. Use
disposable gloves or cooking/grill tongs.
■ Take extra care when preparing critical
food, such as poultry, eggs and fish.
■ Always prepare poultry at min. 65°C.
■ Always thoroughly rinse and/or peel fruit
and vegetables.
■ Always keep work surfaces and
chopping boards clean. Use different
c hopping boards for different types of
food.
■ Maintain the cold chain. Make sure that
you only interrupt it briefly to prepare
the food, and then return the food in its
vacuum-sealed bag to the refrigerator
for storage before you cook it.
■ Food is suitable for immediate
consumption only. Once the food is
cooked, consume it immediately. Do
not store it after cooking – not even
in the refrigerator. It is not suitable for
reheating.
Vacuum-sealing bags
■ When using the sous-vide cooking
method, only use heat-resistant
vacuum-sealing bags designed for this
purpose.
■ Do not cook the food in the bag you
bought it in (e.g. portions of fish). These
bags are not suitable for sous-vide
cooking.
