Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
82
With this gentle cooking method, food
is cooked slowly and at a low, constant
temperature in vacuum packaging.
With vacuum cooking, no moisture
evaporates during cooking and all nutri-
ents and flavours are retained.
The cooking result has an intensive
taste and food is cooked evenly.
Use only fresh food which is in a
good condition.
Ensure hygienic conditions and that
food has not been out of the refriger-
ator too long, e.g. during transporta-
tion.
Use only heat-stable, boiling-resist-
ant vacuum sealing bags.
Do not cook food in the sales pack-
aging, such as vacuum-packed
frozen food as it is possible that the
packaging used is not suitable for
vacuum cooking.
Do not use the vacuum sealing bag
more than once.
Vacuum-seal the food in a chamber
system vacuum sealer only.
