RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

• The sous vide cooking system is for use with pouches suitable for food and cooking. Pouches must be sealed. Laica recommends vacuum-sealed pouches which guarantee the best results.

• Put the seasoned food in the pouch and vacuum seal with a LAICA vacuum machine.

• When preparing food with liquid content, expel as much air as possible from the pouch before sealing it.

• Cook the food as soon as it has been vacuum sealed.

• During cooking, check that the pouch is always immersed in the water to ensure the food is cooked evenly.

• When setting the cooking time, consider the thickness of the food that you want to cook: the thicker it is, the longer it will take to cook.

• When inserting more that one piece of food in the same bag, distribute the pieces well so as to not create overlapping that can lead to uneven cooking.

• In the case of overcooking, low-temperature cooking prevents you from spoiling the dishes: the food does not burn, does not become stringy and does not dry out.

• Cooking times and temperatures may vary depending on personal taste preference and the style of preparation of the dish. There is an extensive section on the www.laica.it website dedicated to easy-to-prepare recipes to make in your own kitchen with LAICA Sous Vide cooking appliances.
