Cooking Guidelines & Tips
Sous Vide
What is Sous Vide?
In the sous vide method of cooking, food is
sealed inside a plastic bag immersed in water and
cooked at a lower temperature. Sous vide allows
for greater control and evenly cooked results.
The sous vide method holds food at the perfect
level of doneness for much longer than regular
cooking methods would allow.
The Sous Vide Cooking Cycle
1. With the Inner Pot in the appliance, fill the Inner Pot
with water. Turn the Control Knob to Sous Vide.
2. Adjust the cooking time and temperature and then
press the Start Button to confirm.
3. Cover with the Glass Lid.
4. The appliance will beep once the water reaches
the desired temperature. Add the sealed bags to
the water. The timer begins once the appliance has
reached the desired temperature and will beep again
once the timer has expired.
CAUTION: Remove hot cooking bags with plastic
tongs to prevent piercing and burns from hot water.
Use oven mitts.
Tip
When using the Sous Vide function the timer will not
begin counting down until the desired temperature is
reached. Reaching the desired temperature may take
30 minutes or more.

What are the Basic Steps?
•
The food must be in a sealed plastic bag or
vacuum-sealed bag. Remove all air from sealed
bags to prevent the bags from floating.
• Submerge pouches into the water bath after the
liquid has reached your desired temperature.
• Cook for at least the minimum amount of time
called for in your recipe.
• Remove each pouch carefully from the water bath.
NOTE: Meat, poultry, or fish can be seared in a hot
pan to create a crisp surface immediately before
serving.
