SOUS VIDE
Compared to conventional cooking, sous vide cooking is a relatively low-
temperature long-time method. Food is placed in a food-grade plastic bag.
Then all the air is expelled and the bag sealed. The food is fully immersed
in a precisely heated water bath to slowly and evenly cook to tender
deliciousness, usually from 1 to 6 hours. It can be held, after finishing cooking,
at that temperature for an additional hour or so without overcooking.
When it's time to eat, remove the food from the bag, sear it quickly over high
heat to brown, and enjoy!
1. Add hot water to cooking pot, filling to approximately half full.
Note: Hot tap water is a good start for most sous vide cooking. Do not use cold
water. Cold water can take up to 2 hours to heat to cooking temperature. To
ensure that water heats as quickly as possible, do not remove lid while heating.
2. Plug in the appliance. The main control display will blink (----). This indicates
that the heat is off and the appliance is ready to be set for cooking.
3. Season the food with salt and pepper or fresh herbs: Season lightly the
first time because sous vide cooking intensifies added flavors. There's
no reason to add oil to bags containing meat.
4. Put food in bag, remove air from bag, and seal it. If you have a vacuum
sealer this is a great use for it. Expel all air from bags and seal.
How to expel air with the immersion method:
Mostly seal the bag with food in it, except for one
corner. Using a separate container of cool water, slowly
push the bag into the water, expelling as much of the
air as possible, until you almost get to the opening.
(C) Seal it all the way closed, being careful not to get
water into the bag.
5. Put bag(s) into the water, making sure bags are
fully submerged and there is plenty of space
between bags. You can put the rack on top of the bags to keep them
submerged. Add additional hot water if needed.
6. Cover with glass lid.
