Interesting Facts concerning Sous Vide Cooking
Sous Vide cooking (French sous "under", vide "vacuum") is a method for slow cooking of meat, fish, or vegetables at low temperatures. The food is welded into a plastic bag before cooking, the air is sucked out with a vacuuming appliance, and then the food is cooked at constant water temperatures in the range from 45 to 90 °C.
With this cooking method, the food is pasteurized and the storage life is extended.
WARNING:
- Pasteurized food must either be consumed immediately or must be cooled and frozen quickly to prevent the growth and increase of spores.
- Food prepared with Sous Vide cooking is not suitable for immuno-compromised persons.
Vacuuming Food
Vacuuming preserves the original flavors and aromas of the food. When you add ingredients like spices or herbs to the foil bag, the taste becomes more intensive.
- Use only foil bags that are especially suited for vacuuming and heat-resistant. Other bags do not guarantee the required correct closure.
- Keep the area at the welding seam dry and clean. Avoid wrinkles. The seam may leak at such places.
- You can purchase a vacuum sealer in a specialist shop. From our product line we recommend the vacuum sealer PC-VK 1146 and the corresponding spare bags and foils. Contact your dealer.

Application Instructions for the Appliance
Location
- Put the pan in which you want to use the appliance on a non-slip, flat and heat-resistant surface.
• Take care that the appliance and the mains cable never are placed onto hot surfaces or near heat sources (e.g. range, hob).
Electric Connection
- Before inserting the power plug into the outlet, check that the mains voltage to be used matches that of the appliance. You can find the required information on the nameplate.
- Connect the appliance only to a correctly installed safety socket.
Function Buttons
The buttons on the appliance are touch keys. Gently touch the buttons with a finger to execute the function.

When switched on, each button press is confirmed with a beep.
Fastening Clip
Use the clip to attach the Sous Vide cooker onto a suitable pan. The pan capacity should be between 6 and 15 litres. In order to securely attach the appliance to the pan with the clip, make sure that the pan height is at least 15 cm. (See page 3, Fig. A)
Water Quantity
- First attach the Sous Vide cooker onto the pan and put in the food. Fill up the pan with water to the MAX mark shown on the appliance. This ensures that the set temperatures are maintained within + / - 0,5 °C.
- The weld-sealed food always must be covered with water.
- If the food has not been covered with water due air bubbles, place a weight (e.g., plate) on the bag.
- When the water level drops below the MIN mark, the temperature protection appliance starts up. A beep will be heard and the appliance will shut down. The notification "EE" appears on the display. Therefore, ensure that the water level is between the MIN and MAX marks. The process must be restarted after this.
Selecting the Cooking Time
- The cooking time depends on the thickness of the food. The times may vary due to quantity and consistency of the food as well. Accordingly, the following time settings are only guidelines and should be adapted according to your taste.
- Extend the time by at least 20% for deep-frozen food.
• Double the time for tough meat.

After Cooking
After cooking, you can use the food in different ways:
Keeping Food Warm
You can keep pasteurized food warm at 55 °C or higher until it is served. While keeping the food warm prevents growth of any germs, meat and vegetables are further cooked and may turn mushy when they are kept warm too long. This depends on the temperature and the type of food. Tough pieces of beef may be cooked and kept for 24 to 48 hours in a water bath at 55 °C . However, most food can be kept only for 8 to 10 hours before becoming too soft.
Operate the Sous Vide pan as described above.
- Set a temperature of 55^ .
- Select the max. time for keeping the food warm after cooking.
Some hints in the following:
| Food Max. Time in Hours | |
| Meat 6-10 | |
| Poultry 2-3 | |
| Fish 1 | |
| Vegetables 2 | |
Serve the Food Immediately
You can eat the food immediately after Sous Vide cooking.
i HINT:
- Fry cooked meat in a hot pan with a little oil crisply for max. 1 minute on each side. The meat remains juicier with shorter frying.
- By seasoning the raw meat before cooking, frying it for a short time, and then vacuuming it, the meat is completely ready for eating after Sous Vide cooking.
Storing of Cooked Food
IMPORTANT:
When you want to keep pasteurized food, cool it down in ice water to 5 °C. The water bath should be filled at least half with ice.
Then you can freeze the food in the vacuum bag or store it at refrigerator temperatures for approx. 5 days.
If you wish to use frozen, already cooked food, you need to thaw the vacuum-sealed food at 55 °C in a pan using the Sous Vide cooker. Then remove it from the bag for further processing or consumption.
Preparation of Yoghurt
Interesting Facts about Yoghurt
Yoghurt is a product that is similar to curdled milk and that is acquired from milk through the action of bacteria.
The milk is enriched with yoghurt cultures (high bacterial count). The bacteria multiply at an average temperature of 45 °C . The milk sugar (lactose) present in the milk is converted to lactic acid. As a result, the milk congeals.
Preparation of Yoghurt
- You need pasteurized milk (H-milk) and natural yoghurt at a mixing ratio of 100 ml : 15 ml (or 140 ml : 20 ml).
-
You can purchase yoghurt jars in a specialist shop.
-
Place the pot with the appliance in the location where these will not be moved or exposed to any vibration while preparing yogurt. Otherwise, the yoghurt remains liquid.
- Heat the H-milk in a pot to ca. 45 °C and blend in the natural yoghurt or the yoghurt culture. If you would like to use fresh milk, boil this beforehand and allow it to cool down to approx. 45 °C.
- Fill this mixture into the previously cleaned jars. Screw the lids onto the jars.
- Place the closed jars in the pot with the attached Sous Vide cooker.
-
Pour warm water into the pan (max. 45 °C).
-
Operate the Sous Vide pan as described above.
- Set a temperature of 45^ .
- Set the timer for 12 hours.
i NOTE:
- The longer the yoghurt matures, the stronger the taste becomes.
- A jar of finished yoghurt can be used again as a start culture, but not more than approx. 20 times, as the effect weakens with time.
- Fruits, nuts, jam or similar items should be added after preparation only.
• Always store the finished yoghurt in the refrigerator.
Cleaning
WARNING:
• Always turn the appliance off before cleaning it and remove the mains plug. Wait until the appliance has cooled down.
- Do not immerse the motor housing in water for cleaning in any case. Doing so may result in an electric shock or fire.
CAUTION:
- Do not use any wire brush or other abrasive objects.
- Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
Clean the housing only with a damp cloth and a squirt of washing-up liquid. Dry with a cloth.
Decalcification
- Descale the appliance at regular intervals.
- The frequency of the decalcifying operation depends on the hardness of the water and on how often the appliance is used.
-
Please do not use vinegar but a commercially available decalcification agent on the basis of citric acid. Only use the quantities stated in the instructions.
-
Attach the appliance onto a suitable pan.
- Fill up the pot with hot water and add a descaling agent.
- Set the temperature and the timer as described in the "Use" section.
- Set the maximum temperature.
