Sous-vide cooking
Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking
under a vacuum at low temperatures.
W Health risk!
When preparing food for sous-vide cooking
it is important that you always follow the
application and hygiene instructions below:
■ Only use high-quality, perfectly fresh
food.
■ Wash and disinfect your hands.
■ Take extra care when preparing critical
food, such as poultry, eggs and fish.
■ Always keep work surfaces and
chopping boards clean.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Where possible, position the items of
food in the bag next to each other and
not on top of each other.
■ We recommend to keep the vacuum
seal out of the water.
For professional sous-vide cooking results
we recommend to use Bosch vacuum
drawer.
