Sous Vide - Instant Pot PRO 60 User Manual

Sous Vide

Sous Vide cooking involves cooking food underwater, in an airtight, food-safe bag,
for a long period of time. Food cooks in its own juices and comes out delicious and
unbelievably tender.
Do not overfill the inner pot to avoid damage to the multicooker. Total contents
(water and food pouches) should leave at least 5 cm of headspace between the
water line and the brim of the inner pot.
