Imortant Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, always follow basic safety precautions, including
the following:
a. Read all instructions before operating the device.
b. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knob.
c. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the power cord or plugs
in any liquid. Also, do not fill the water level past the Maximum Fill line, or otherwise
immerse the upper section of the machine in water or other liquid.
d. Never operate the machine without the back cover securely attached and the
machine clamped to a sturdy surface, like a stock pot.

Cooking Sous Vide
The Sansaire™ Immersion Circulator is designed for sous vide cooking. High-end
restaurants have been cooking with the sous vide method for years. You are about
to see how easy it is to achieve perfectly cooked proteins and vegetables every time.
It works like this: Preheat your water bath to the desired cooking temperature by
adjusting the temperature ring on your Sansaire™ Immersion Circulator.
1. Seal the ingredients you wish to cook in a plastic bag. You may also place your
ingredients in a canning jar filled with a neutral-flavored oil, and sealed tightly.
2. Submerge the bagged food or canning jar in the water bath and let it cook until
the thickest part of the food has reached its target temperature. Consult sous vide
recipes for suggested times and temperatures for common foods.
3. If desired, give your food a quick sear on a hot skillet or with a blowtorch, and it’s
ready to serve!
Unlike cooking on a stove or in the oven, the temperatures used in sous vide cooking
are relatively low (well below boiling temperatures). By setting the right temperature for
your ingredients, your food won’t overcook if you leave it in the water bath – it can’t get
hotter than the temperature you set!

Setup
1. Pick a container large enough to hold your food, and with plenty of room for water
to circulate. We recommend a polycarbonate food storage container, or a large
metal pot. Avoid plastic containers made with BPAs or PVC materials.
2. Attach the Sansaire™ Immersion Circulator to the side of the container using the
clamp. Add water until the level is above the Minimum Fill line on the Sansaire, but
below the Maximum Fill line. Remember that the water level will rise when you add
your food.
3. Plug in the Sansaire.
4. Press the Power button on the top of the unit. This turns on the display and
makes the circulator heat the water to the set target temperature. Set the target
temperature of the water bath by turning the silver Temperature Ring above the
display. The Sansaire automatically keeps the water at the target temperature until
you turn it off. Your water bath is now ready for cooking!
