Grounding installation
This appliance is classified as protection class I and must be connected to protective ground. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is fitted with a power cord that has a grounding wire and a grounded plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed vand grounded.

Hendi sous vide device
Sous vide is a method of cooking food, sealed in plastic vacuum bags, in a water bath at precisely controlled temperatures in order to provide consistently high-quality results. The big advantage of the Hendi sous vide oven is that because of the high precision thermostat (0.5°C), food can be effortlessly prepared perfectly. If you make steaks in the sous vide oven medium rare, the steak will be medium rare throughout from edge to edge. No guesswork or critical timing. Your steak will be perfectly cooked if you set the time and temperature correctly, while no attention is required during operation. Because the products are cooked vacuum sealed, you prevent the loss of flavor and nutrition, keeping the food flavourful, tender and moist. Some long-duration settings even allow significant improvement in tenderness while keeping the flavor. The Hindi sous vide oven saves you time. You can prepare the food before peak times. If the sous vide settings are correct, no attention is required during operation. Effortless cooking. The Hindi sous vide saves you money. The food will shrink less, thus retaining more moisture. As pasteurization of food is possible, properly sous vide prepared food can be safely kept for up to 3 weeks longer than conventionally cooked food. The Hindi sous vide oven saves you work. You can add marinade/herbs directly to the food before cooking.

Basic principles of sous vide cooking
Vacuum packing
The food should always be packed vacuum or in any case packed in a plastic bag without air (no buoyancy) so that the heated water will have a direct contact to the food through the plastic. Spices and marinades can be added in advance so that these can be absorbed by the food and the juices and flavors will be kept. The best is to use an vacuum inside chamber packaging machine. The cheapest functional alternative is to use airtight ziplock bags that the air has been squeezed out of, though the  results of this method may be poor Times are always minimum times. The thickness of the product has a strong influence on the whole cooking process.

Some examples:

Steak:

• Rare 54-56˚ C
• Medium 56-58˚ C
• Well done 58-64 ˚C at a time of 1 to 4 hours.

Succade:

• 55-58 ˚ C for a period of at least 20 hours and it can reach up to 60 hours depending on thickness.

Pasteurization:
The storage time of vacuum-packed products that are cooked, can be extended considerably if they are cooled rapidly after cooking (with a shock cooler or in a basin with ice cubes). If stored at 2˚C they can be stored up to 3 weeks after preparation. Note that minimum times/temperatures apply to kill the bacteria, which are highly dependent on the product. It is food-safest to find basic sous vide recipes online and carefully modify them to your wishes.

Always follow the HACCP guidelines
