Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking This gentle cooking method allows food to be cooked slowly at a low, constant temperature in vacuum packaging. With vacuum cooking, moisture does not evaporate and all nutrients and fla‐ vors are retained. The result is flavorful and cooked even‐ ly. Only use food that is fresh and in good condition. Ensure hygienic conditions and that food has not been out of the refriger‐ ator too long, e.g. during transporta‐ tion. Use only heat-stable, boiling-resist‐ ant vacuum bags.
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking Important usage information Tips To obtain an optimum cooking result, observe the following information: – Freeze liquids such as marinades be‐ fore vacuum-sealing to prevent them from escaping from the vacuum bag. – Use less herbs and spices than for conventional cooking since the influ‐ ence on the taste of the food is more intensive. You can also prepare the food un‐ seasoned and add seasonings after cooking.
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking Method Put the food in a vacuum bag and add spices or liquid if desired. Possible causes for poor re‐ sults The vacuum bag opened: Vacuum-seal the food with the sousvide vacuum sealer. – The weld seam was not clean or sta‐ ble enough and dissolved. Lay the vacuum-sealed food on the shelf (next to each other in the case of several bags). – The bag was damaged by a sharp bone. Select Sous-vide.

General notes The "General Notes" section contains general information. You will find more detailed information about particular foods and how to cook them in the oth‐ er sections. The advantages of cooking with steam Almost all vitamins and minerals are re‐ tained as the food is not immersed in water. Cooking with steam also retains the true taste of the food better than con‐ ventional cooking. We therefore recom‐ mend seasoning the food after it has been cooked.
General notes Shelf level Cooking duration You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking du‐ ration. In general, the cooking durations for cooking with steam are the same as for cooking food in a saucepan. More in‐ formation about any factors which may affect the cooking duration is given in the relevant sections.
Steam cooking Vegetables Fresh food Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual way, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up. Frozen food Frozen vegetables do not need to be defrosted beforehand unless the vege‐ tables have been frozen together in a block. To cook frozen vegetables, program the same time as for fresh ones. Break up the larger, frozen together pieces. Please refer to the cooking times on the packaging.
Steam cooking The durations given in the charts for fresh vegetables are guidelines only. We rec‐ ommend selecting the shorter cooking duration quoted to start with. If vegetables are not cooked sufficiently after the shorter time, they can be put back in the steam oven and cooked some more.
