4 | Sous-vide cooking

Sous-vide cooking

In sous-vide cooking, food is prepared, seasoned, marinated and/or seared before being placed into a vacuum bag and cooked at a low temperature. The method results in very flavorful food which retains its natural color, vitamins and minerals, and the gentle cooking process minimizes cooking losses. After cooking, the food needs to be cooled down. Before serving, the food is reheated in its plastic bag, then removed from the bag and finished accordingly.
Sous-vide cooking is particularly suitable for the following uses:
n Cook and Chill
Produce your food in a central production kitchen and then deliver it to satellite kitchens. This allows you to avoid costly overproduction, because you only Finish food you actually need.
n Room service
Produce dishes or individual components in advance, chill them and then Finish individual portions to order. This method allows you to offer 24-hour service whether or not an experienced cook is in the kitchen.
n Special diets
This gentle cooking method preserves food’s natural flavor, making it ideal for preparing low-fat, low-salt, or other special dietary options.

losses. You can set the differential anywhere between 50°F and 104°F. The smaller the difference between the cooking cabinet temperature and the core temperature, the more slowly and gently the food will cook. The greater the difference between the cooking cabinet temperature and the core temperature, the quicker the food will cook.
Either a target temperature or a desired cooking time can be set. If a target core temperature is set for the product, the cooking cabinet temperature will be regulated´automatically based on the difference between the set delta temperature and the set core temperature.

Automatic cleaning

Your iCombi Classic is equipped with an automatic cleaning system. Choose a cleaning program, insert the displayed number of Active Green tabs and care tabs, and your unit will clean itself. At the same time, the integrated care system keeps the steam generator free of scale. This gives you a hygienically clean and optimally maintained unit at all times.
General safety information
n Only use the manufacturer’s recommended Active Green cleaner tabs and care tabs in automatic cleaning. To avoid scalding and burn injuries:
n Allow the cooking system and all functional components to cool down before starting automatic cleaning. To avoid severe chemical burns:
n Cleaning and care products can cause severe eye damage and chemical burns to the skin. Always wear securely fitting safety eyewear and chemical-resistant gloves when cleaning the unit.
n Keep the cooking cabinet door closed during automatic cleaning. Otherwise, hot steam and corrosive cleaning chemicals could escape. If you open the cooking cabinet door during automatic cleaning, a message will appear prompting you to close it again.
n Make sure the core temperature probe is not hanging out of the cooking system while automatic cleaning is in progress. This could damage the seal on the cooking cabinet door and allow corrosive cleaning chemicals to escape.
n Do not clean the externally attached core temperature probes using automatic cleaning. n Before preheating the cooking system for use, remove all cleaning products and cleaning product residues. How to respond if you come into contact with cleaning chemicals: n If you touch cleaning agents when not wearing gloves or your skin otherwise comes into contact with Active
Green cleaner tabs, rinse your skin with running water for 10 minutes. n If you get cleaning chemicals into your eyes, rinse your eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Remove your
contact lenses, if applicable. n If you swallow cleaning chemicals, rinse your mouth out with water and drink two glasses of water
immediately. Do not induce vomiting. n Call the poison control hotline or a doctor immediately.
