doneness without the risk of drying out
through over cooking.
What do you need to cook food with the
SOUS VIDE function?
Thick, heat-proof, food safe plastic bags.
Resealable zip-top bags will also work if the
cooking temperature is under 158°F (70°C).
Do I need to vacuum seal?
You do not need to vacuum seal bags for
SOUS VIDE, however, as much air as possible
needs to be removed from the bag, and water
prevented from entering the bag to provide
accurate food results. To use the water
displacement method, place food in a zip-top
bag with a double seal, then lower the bagged
food into a water filled container. Once most of
the air is out of the bag, carefully seal just above
the water line.
Is the lid open or closed?
To ensure consistent cooking temperatures,
the lid must be closed and in the locked
position during the sous vide function.
When do I sear?
You can sear items before or after cooking
with the SAUTÉ/SEAR function. If searing
prior to using the SOUS VIDE function, allow
time for resting and cooling overnight in the
refrigerator.
SOUS VIDE steps:
1. Fill cooking bowl with warm water until it
has reached the MAX line.
To reduce preheat time, start with water
close to your target temperature.
2. Press SOUS VIDE and set temperature and
time as desired. Close lid and press START
to begin heating water.
3. Place the food item or the produce in a
plastic Sous Vide or zip-top bag. If you do
not have specific Sous Vide sealed bag,
we recommend using a double-sealed
zip-top bag. Add aromatics like bay leaves,
rosemary, lemon slices or rind and oil as
desired.
4. When water has reached desired
temperature (machine will beep once),
carefully place bag into the water bath. If bag
floats, place stainless trivet upside down over
the bag to keep it fully submerged.
5. Close the lid and rotate to locked position,
but ensuring the pressure release valve is in
the open position.
6. When cooking time is completed, remove
bag from water bath.
