What does sous-vide mean?
Sous-vide (the French “sous” means “for under vacuum” and “vide” means “vac-
uum”) or vacuum cooking is a special cooking method in which the food is first
vacuum-packed in special plastic bags and then cooked at a low temperature in
a water bath. The cooking temperatures remain under 100°C, which makes it
a very gentle cooking method. The low temperatures change the products more
slowly at a molecular level, making the cooking results all the more tender and
juicy. In sous-vide cooking, the airtight packaging retains nearly all the flavour
and nutrients; this making vacuum-cooked food particularly flavoursome.
The aromas of spices become more intense under a vacuum. It is therefore better
to use them sparingly and add more later if necessary.
Another benefit is that the core temperature can be controlled exactly – so the
rule of thumb is: water temperature = core temperature. Overcooking the food is
almost impossible if the temperature has been correctly selected as the individual
ingredients do not get any hotter than the temperature of the water.
You will need the following accessories (not supplied) to cook using the sous-vide
method:
–Pot
–vacuum sealer
–special vacuum bags or plastic bags that do not release any plasticizers
or similar to the food and that are heat-resistant.

itself has been dropped or there is visible damage.
► The appliance may only be used in dry indoor rooms.
► Never immerse the appliance in water deeper than up to
the MAX marking! Never immerse the appliance in other
liquids!
► Ensure that the mains cable never becomes wet or damp
when the appliance is in use. Route the cable so that it can-
not be trapped or damaged in any way.
► To avoid potential risks, if the appliance power cable is dam-
aged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer
service or by a qualified technician.
► All repairs must be carried out by authorised specialist work-
shops or by the Customer Service department. Improper
repairs may put the user at risk. It will also invalidate any

er, the mains plug must be removed from the power socket.

CAUTION – PROPERTY DAMAGE!
► Do not add any foods to the water bath unless they are
firmly sealed. Any water getting into the food will produce
unfavourable results or spoil the food.
► Ensure that the appliance, the mains cable and the plug do
not come into contact with heat sources such as hotplates or
naked flames.
► Never place the appliance near sources of heat.

ing and stowing it away it.
