up to — 1/2 line, as indicated on the
inner pot.
Insert the inner pot into the

connection is tight.
Connect the power cord to a 120 V

Stage 3: Getting food ready

for tips!
02 When you’re ready, separate each
serving of food into individual
pouches.
03 Remove all air from the pouches and
seal them tightly.
Stage 4: Cook ‘em up!

display shows Hot for a few moments
before switching over to the
countdown timer.
02 Remove the lid and carefully immerse
the sealed pouches in the water.
The food in the pouches should be
submerged, so add heated water to
the inner pot any time it’s needed, but,
if you’re using a re-sealable bag, make
sure the seal stays above the water.
03 Place and close the pressure cooking
lid as described in Pressure control
features: Pressure cooking lid.

the display shows End. Open the

CAUTION
Do not overll the inner pot to avoid property damage. Total contents (water and
food pouches) should leave at least 5 cm (2”) of headspace between the water line
and the brim of the inner pot.
Reverse searing
Searing your meat after low and slow cooking is the easiest way to boost those already-
delicious avors through the roof without overcooking. Try reverse searing for tender,
juicy meat with a beautiful burnished crust.
01 After Sous Vide cooking, remove the meat from the cooking pouch and gently pat it
dry to remove as much moisture as you can from the exterior of the meat.
It may seem crazy to remove juices, but don’t skip this step — you’ll end up with more
avor and a great looking nish!
02 Use the Sauté Smart Program to give it a good sear, or, use a cast iron pan, browning
torch, or a grill — anything hot to lock in that moisture!
03 Cover your meat with foil and let it rest for 5-25 minutes, depending on the size of
the cut.
Ingredients and seasonings
Salt goes a long way when it has nowhere to go, so it’s better to use a little less than
you normally would, especially with meats, poultry and sh. If you nd it needs more
after cooking, salt to taste!
Use high quality, fresh ingredients when cooking sous vide to ensure the best possible
avor, except…
Use garlic powder rather than raw garlic. Raw garlic can become really bitter and
overpowering when cooked sous vide. Pure, high-quality garlic powder will give you
the best results.
Don’t use garlic salt in place of garlic powder!
Storing cooked food
If you're not going to eat right away, plunge the unopened pouches into ice water to
reduce the temperature quickly, then keep them refrigerated until you're ready.
Check out the sous vide cooking times online!
CAUTION
When cooking meat, always use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal
temperature reaches a safe minimum temperature. Refer to the USDA’s
Safe Minimum Internal Temperature Chart or Health Canada's Cooking
Temperatures Chart for more information.
