Use and Care Manual

HOW TO SOUS VIDE (cont.):
 Vegetables will cook faster if they are thinly sliced or cut in small pieces; or if left whole,
they will take more time to become tender.
 Fruit can be cooked sous vide to make toppings, purees, syrups and such. Cook for 2 ½
hours at 160°F and let cool in the bag before using.
 To prep meat, poultry and fish before cooking, add seasonings or rubs before bagging.
Vacuum seal or use the Water Displacement Method to remove the water from the bag
before cooking (see following).
 ALWAYS use a BPA-free vacuum-sealed bag when cooking foods more than 8 hours.
 Use a vacuum-sealed bag or use the “Water Displacement Method” for foods cooked
less than 8 hours.
WATER DISPLACEMENT METHOD IN PLACE OF VACUUM SEALER:
1. Fill a large plastic container with cool water.
2. Prep your food to be cooked and place it in a BPA-free plastic freezer bag. Do not seal.
3. Slowly immerse the food-filled bag into the water. This will force the air out as the bag is
immersed.
4. Continue immersing the bag until just before the water reaches the top of the bag.
5. With the bag in the water, close or zip to seal, forcing out all remaining air as much as
possible.
