Sous vide
Sous vide is a special cooking method which uses vacuum at a low temperature
in order to cook food to its precision. In order to reach the vacuum, use dedicated
sealing plastic bags for sous vide cooking and a vacuum device. With your Air
Cooker, you can do sous vide cooking for up to 3 hours. With this setting, you will
get juicy and tender results for meat while there is no risk of overcooking.
Tip
• Sous vide can also be used in combination with other cooking methods. For
example, you can first cook your meat with "Sous vide" and then shortly fry it
in the pan for an optimal result.
Warning
• If using the sous vide function, make sure to use only high quality sous
vide bags.
• If you put food in sous-vide bag, make sure to select sous-vide cooking
method otherwise sous-vide bag could melt.
• Sous vide function at temperatures below 50°C is not recommended as it
could provoke bacteria growth.
The cooking time given in the table is guideline for sous vide cooking. If the
cooking result does not meet your expectation, we recommend setting the
temperature a few degrees lower or higher to better meet personal taste. You
can also adjust the cooking time.
