LAKELAND SOUS VIDE WAND
Thank you for choosing the Lakeland Sous Vide Wand.
Please take a little time to read this booklet before getting started and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
Sous Vide means ‘under vacuum’,- cooking food sealed in a vacuum bag slowly at a constant and low temperature to retain all the goodness, juices and flavour. This Wand allows you to precisely control the temperature and timing of your cooking, to keep in moisture, aroma and nutrients that would otherwise be lost.
Sous Vide Cooking prevents damage to the molecular structure of your food, seasoning and spices transmit flavour more intensely, and long slow cooking tenderises tougher cuts of meat.
Here at Lakeland, our award-winning family-owned business still offers the same excellent quality, value for money and exceptional customer service as when we founded the company back in the 1960s.
Our products are hand-picked and thoroughly tested so you can be sure that everything you purchase will be a pleasure to use for many years to come.

SOUS VIDE COOKING - SAFETY ADVICE
Here are some simple safety steps for low-temperature cooking…
• Always use fresh meat, vegetables, fruit and herbs, that are well within their use by date. This reduces the chances that unclean or contaminated food will end up in your vacuum bag.
• Smell your food before and after cooking. If your food smells off, then it is and should be thrown away.
• Keep hot food hot, and cold food cold. Keep food outside the “The Danger Zone” this is the temperature range in which most bacteria can grow: 4°C (40°F) to 60°C (140°F).
• Use vacuum pouches with properly chilled food, removing all the air from the bag before cooking.
• Carefully follow the time and temperature requirements for the individual recipes you are using.
• Check food is fully cooked before removing from the pan.
• If your food is not to be eaten immediately, keep it sealed in it’s vacuum bag and chill it in an ice bath to stop further cooking, before putting in the fridge.
• Food should be chilled before vacuum sealing, cooked immediately or stored below
3.3° C (38° F) in a fridge, or frozen.
• If the vacuum pouch has been left at room temperature for more than two hours, discard immediately. Do not leave food at room temperature for more than two hours.
• Only vaccum seal food once. DO NOT reseal leftovers that have been opened or left out.
• If the vacuum pouch has been punctured in the pan, discard it immediately.
• After sous vide cooking, your food can be browned in a pan if required.

USING YOUR SOUS VIDE WAND FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Unpack the Sous Vide Wand, remove all the packaging materials including the plastic
film on the display.
• Before first use, wipe the outer surfaces with a clean damp cloth.
• Make sure all the parts are clean and dry before setting up the product.
• WARNING: Do not insert the plug into an electrical outlet, or turn on the Sous Vide
Wand before you have set up the pan.
• First, select, prepare and vacuum pack your recipe. The Sous Vide Wand is for use with vacuum sealed food only, follow the instructions on your vacuum sealer to vacuum seal your recipe. Vacuum sealers are available from Lakeland.
• Take a pan large enough to cook your food, the sides of the pan must be straight and at least 19cm tall, so that the Sous Vide Wand can be fully and securely clipped on.
• Place the pan on a flat heatproof surface or board near a socket. Do not place the pan on a hob or cooker, - even if it is switched off.
• With the wand inside the pan, clip it to the side of the pan by squeezing and releasing the clip handle. The bottom of the wand can sit on or above the bottom of the pan.

Warning: The Sous Vide Wand must be fully and securely clipped onto the side of the pan before use. Your pan must have sides at least 19cm tall.
Grip
• The silicone grip must be
fully clipped on.
• Fill the pan with tap water. The water level must be between the ‘MIN’ mark and the ‘MAX’ mark on the wand. Only the metal wand should be under water, do not immerse the handle, cord or plug in water.
• Remember that when you add your vacuum packed food, the water level will rise. You can check that the water level will sit between the ‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’ marks, by adding your prepared vacuum packed food to the pan, then filling it with cold tap water. Remember to remove your food and double check the water level is still above the ‘MIN’ mark without the food before you switch on the Sous Vide Wand. The appliance will only work if it is immersed in water between the ‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’ marks.
• The Sous Vide Wand is now ready to use.
• Shorter pans cannot be used with this appliance, because the silicone grip will not fully clip onto the side to hold it securely to the pan.
