Introduction to “Chef Touch” THE METHOD The "Chef Touch" represents a cooking system for foods that undergo preliminary vacuum packing. To achieve such packing, specific bags are used made of plastic material resistant to certain heat treatments. Once cooked, the food can be immediately consumed and can undergo rapid temperature drop before being stored at refrigeration or freezing temperature.
How to apply the “Chef Touch” method The diagram below summarises the 3 different Chef Touch operating modes applicable : • KitchenAid vacuum chamber, • KitchenAid blast chiller, • KitchenAid steam oven. The "Chef Touch" has different types of use, in line with the normal habits of food consumers A) Immediate consumption Suggested for any "Chef Touch" food preparation and representing the very best way to exploit this cooking method.
The cooking bags To use the "Chef Touch", the KitchenAid red coloured bags must be used. Before starting the bag filling operation, it is best to indicate in the spaces provided on the bag the date of preparation and type of product in indelible ink. Preparing bags USING KITCHENAID VACUUM BAGS 1. Open the drawer fully (until it clicks). 2. Switch the machine on using the blue switch on the front right hand side. 3.
Machine operation indications SWITCHING ON (pulling the drawer out to working position) Always pull the drawer out to its full extension so that the glass lid can open fully. Switch the machine on using the blue On switch on the front right hand side. The control panel leds light up and a brief acoustic signal indicates the machine has been switched on. At this point the machine runs a set-up cycle lasting approximately 2 seconds; do not press any buttons until set-up has been completed.
+ 4°C To cook using the "Chef Touch", follow the indications shown on the drawing.
How to use the blast chiller Remember to only use the KitchenAid brand product. We suggest drying the surface of the food with paper or a kitchen cloth before placing it in the chiller. This solution is advisable to limit the formation of condensation during the chilling cycle and to prevent ice forming on the walls and Mid Level negatively affecting chiller performance. To blast chill packs, follow the instructions shown on the drawing: 1. Open the door and position the grid on mid level 2.
How to use the steam oven for heating To heat, follow the instructions provided in "How to cook in a steam oven". The end of cooking is indicated by an acoustic indicator At the end of cooking, be careful when removing the pack from the oven as this could be very hot. We recommend using always appropriate gloves / pot holders for removing pouch.
Cooking table Cooking time interval values in the table are not valid for food. We always recommend to cook only fresh food starting from refrigerated temperature. Sous Vide pouches have to be cooked and reheated only with Sous Vide dedicated cycles as indicated in the table below, paying attention to select the proper cooking cycle.

Cooking and preparation tips PREPARING AND COOKING MEAT use dry or wet cooking methods as desired. You can also stuff the breast by making a pocket and stuffing it as you please (ham, cheese and a leaf vegetable). • Legs may be cooked with the bone or boneless.
