TIPS AND TRICKS FOR PRECISION COOKING Enjoy our helpful guide to pampering your food in a kitchen Jacuzzi! POT PICKIN' Select a pot or container that is large enough to allow the Sous Vide Cooker as well as the bag (or bags) of food to be clipped on opposite sides. Take care to allow enough room to ensure that the unit will never touch the bag. In the event of cooking multiple bags in one pot, make sure that there is enough room for all the bags to be entirely immersed in water.
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR PRECISION COOKING TIMING OPTIONAL Because the Sous Vide Cooker controls the temperature and cooking so precisely, it is unlikely to overcook or burn even if you decide to forgo the timer and auto-shut off. If you want, though, the Sous Vide Cooker is equipped with a timer that will automatically shut off when cooking is complete, so you can take a nap without setting an alarm. Use the Cooking Guide on page 7 to determine the correct time & temperature for desired results.
