■ Always thoroughly rinse and/or peel fruit
and vegetables.
■ Always keep work surfaces and
chopping boards clean. Use different
chopping 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.
■ 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.
■ Where possible, position the items of
food in the bag next to each other and
not on top of each other.
For professional sous-vide cooking results
we recommend to use Bosch vacuum
drawer.
