4 SIMPLE STEPS TO SUCCESSFUL SOUS VIDE COOKING
the bag, place the cooking rack in the water bath, if desired.
3. SIMMER
Set the Sous Vide to the correct temperature for the food you are preparing. Once the water bath
reaches the selected temperature, place the vacuum bags containing the food gently into the water.
Make sure each bag is completely submerged and that water can circulate around the bags freely,
guaranteeing even cooking.
4. SEAR
Some foods, when cooked Sous Vide, should be browned to enhance appearance and avor. Meat
in particular will be best if quickly seared after sous vide cooking. Remove the food from the bag
and brown it quickly in a very hot pan or on a grill rack until the surface caramelizes.
1. SEASON
Slice ingredients to the appropriate thickness and place in the bag.
Add your choices of spices, herbs, butter and oil to marinate the food
while cooking.
2. SEAL
Seal for best results. The bag must be vacuum sealed to remove air and moisture. This opens the
pores of meat, poultry and sh so that any marinade is better absorbed and also ensures that all
foods retain their natural avor and optimal nutritional content. After using a vacuum sealer to close
