10. The cooker beeps once the water temperature is reached. Remove the lid and
immerse the sealed pouches in the warm water. The pouches contents should
be submerged, but the seal should remain above the water line.
11. Place and close the lid as described in Pressure Control Features—Pressure
Cooking Lid.
Note: For cooking times over 04:00 hours, check the water level periodically to ensure
pouch contents remain submerged. If required, add heated water to the inner pot.
12. Once complete, the display indicates End. Open cooker and carefully remove
the pouches from water.
13. Remove contents from pouches and use a thermometer to check for
doneness. Follow a recipe or refer to the Sous Vide Cooking Guidelines.
Reverse Searing
Searing your meat after cooking, rather than before, is a great way to boost avors.
After sous vide cooking, remove the meat from the cooking pouch and gently pat
it dry. Then, sear it lightly in the inner pot with the Sauté Smart Program, or use a
pan, browning torch, or grill.
Ingredients and Seasonings
• Use high quality, fresh ingredients when cooking sous vide to ensure the
best possible avor.
• When seasoning with salt, it is better to use less than you might add
normally, especially with meats, poultry, and sh. Instead, salt to taste
after cooking.
• Use garlic powder rather than raw garlic. Raw garlic can become bitter
and overpowering when cooked sous vide. Pure and high-quality garlic
powder provides the best results.
Note: Do not use garlic salt in place of garlic powder!
Storing Cooked Food
If your dish is not going to be consumed immediately, plunge pouches into
ice water to reduce temperature quickly, then keep refrigerated until ready to
consume.
CAUTION
Do not overll the inner pot. Ensure that total contents (water and food pouches)
leave at least 2” / 5 cm of space between the brim of the inner pot and the
water line.
