Sous vide cooking
With vacuum cooking, the food is sealed
inside a vacuum bag and cooked at low
temperature in a water bath. The ideal
temperature range for such cooking is
55° to 65°C. Pasteurisation of the food is
achieved at a core temperature of 62°C.
Heating food evenly results in the perfect
consistency of the entire content, so
that the juice and flavour remain largely
unaffected.
Since sous vide cooking implies low-
temperature preparation of products, their
quick and hygienically safe processing is
required. Once vacuum-cooked, the food
must be either consumed immediately, or
cooled in iced water and then deep-frozen
or stored in a refrigerator at a temperature
of below 3°C.
Only high-quality vacuum bags suitable
for both deep-freezing and heating must
be used for vacuum cooking. We therefore
recommend using SEVERIN vacuum
foil bags (available commercially or via
http://www.severin.de under 'Service /
Ersatzteile').
Before using for the first time
Make sure you remove all promotional
