    TIP: To finish proteins or to crisp veggies, sear on a grill, under a broiler or in a hot pan with butter or oil. Be sure to pat food dry to ensure caramelization before searing.

PREPARING YOUR SOUS VIDE INGREDIENTS

To prepare your Sous Vide ingredients, you may use either vacuum-sealed bags or plastic resealable bags. For the best results, it’s important to remove all air within the bag.
To do this with plastic resealable bags, place your food in the bag and get as much air out as possible. Seal the bag almost completely, leaving a small section open (Figure 5). Then, in a pot of water, slowly lower the sealed bag into the water to push the remaining air out (Figure 6). Air will escape as the bag is submerged. Right before the bag is fully submerged, seal the open section to fully close the bag (Figure 7).

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SLOW COOKER WITH SOUS VIDE

  • ALWAYS turn your unit off, unplug it from the electrical outlet, and allow it to cool before cleaning.
  • The Lid and Stoneware can be washed in the dishwasher or with hot, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scouring pads. A cloth, sponge, or rubber spatula will usually remove residue. To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or vinegar.
  • As with any fine ceramic, the Stoneware and Lid will not withstand sudden temperature changes. Do not wash the Stoneware or Lid with cold water when they are hot.
  • The outside of the heating base may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
  • CAUTION: Never immerse the Heating Base in water or other liquid.
  • To clean the Temperature Probe, use a damp cloth and warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly before the next use.
  • CAUTION: Do not immerse the Temperature Probe in water.
  • No other servicing should be performed.
  • This appliance has no user-serviceable parts. Any servicing beyond that described in the Cleaning Section should be performed by an Authorized Service Representative only. See Warranty Section.

SOUS VIDE TIPS AND TRICKS

  • Preheat times vary based on the desired temperature and may exceed one hour. Use hot tap water, or a kettle to heat the water for higher temperatures, to help reduce preheat times.
  • Refrain from lifting or removing the Lid often during preheating. This causes the temperature of the water to drop.
  • For best results, use a FoodSaver® Vacuum Sealer and FoodSaver® Rolls or Bags when sealing food. Alternatively, you can use a microwave-safe/heat-resistant resealable plastic bag with the water displacement method shown on page 13.
  • To ensure even cooking, place the ingredients in an even layer when sealing and do not overlap once submerged.
  • For any sharp foods, such as shrimp or lobster (tails on), wrap in aluminium foil to avoid piercing the bag.
  • Wait until the water has been preheated before submerging your sealed ingredients. This will help with precise and even cooking.
  • To prevent food from floating, place a heavy object, such as a serving spoon, on the bag or you may place food-grade weights inside the bag.
  • Use tongs when submerging or removing bagged ingredients as the water will be very hot.
  • To finish proteins or to crisp veggies, sear on a grill, under a broiler or in a hot pan with butter or oil. Be sure to pat food dry to ensure caramelization before searing.

SLOW COOKING TIPS AND TRICKS

PASTA AND RICE

  • For best rice results, use long-grain converted rice or a bowl of specialty rice as the recipe suggests. If the rice is not cooked completely after the suggested time, add an extra 1 to 1½ cups of liquid per cup of cooked rice and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • For best pasta results, first partially cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water until just tender. Add the pasta to the CrockpotTM slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking time.

BEANS

  • Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and/or acidic foods. Sugar and acid have a hardening effect on beans and will prevent softening.
  • Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before adding to a recipe.
  • Fully cooked canned beans may be used as a substitute for dried beans.

VEGETABLES

  • Many vegetables benefit from slow cooking and can develop their full flavour. They tend not to overcook in your slow cooker as they might in your oven or on your stovetop.
  • When cooking recipes with vegetables and meat, place vegetables in a slow cooker before the meat. Vegetables usually cook slower than meat in the slow cooker.
  • Place vegetables near the sides or bottom of the stoneware to facilitate cooking.

HERBS AND SPICES

  • Fresh herbs add flavour and colour but should be added at the end of the cooking cycle as the flavour will dissipate over long cooking times.
  • Ground and/or dried herbs and spices work well in slow cooking and may be added at the beginning.
  • The flavour power of all herbs and spices can vary greatly depending on their particular strength and shelf life. Use herbs sparingly, taste at end of the cook cycle and adjust seasonings just before serving.

MILK

  • Milk, cream, and sour cream break down during extended cooking. When possible, add during the last 15 to 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Condensed soups may be substituted for milk and can be cooked for extended times.

SOUPS

  • Some soup recipes call for large amounts of water. Add other soup ingredients to the slow cooker first then add water only to cover. If thinner soup is desired, add more liquid at serving time.

MEATS

  • Trim fat, rinse well, and pat meat dry with paper towels.
  • Browning meat in a separate skillet or broiler allows fat to be drained off before slow cooking and also adds a greater depth of flavour.
  • Meat should be positioned so that it rests in the stoneware without touching the lid.
  • For smaller or larger cuts of meat, alter the amount of vegetables or potatoes so that the stoneware is always ½ to ¾ full.
  • The size of the meat and the recommended cook times are just estimates and can vary depending on the specific cut, type, and bone structure. Lean meats such as chicken or pork tenderloin tend to cook faster than meats with more connective tissue and fat such as beef chuck or pork shoulder. Cooking meat on the bone versus boneless will increase required cooking times.
  • Cut meat into smaller pieces when cooking with precooked foods such as beans or fruit, or light vegetables such as mushrooms, diced onion, eggplant, or finely minced vegetables. This enables all food to cook at the same rate.
  • When cooking frozen meats, at least 1 cup of warm liquid must first be added. The liquid will act as a “cushion” to prevent sudden temperature changes. An additional 4 hours on LOW or 2 hours on HIGH is typically required. For larger cuts of frozen meat, it may take much longer to defrost and tenderize.

FISH

  • Fish cooks quickly and should be added at the end of the cooking cycle during the last fifteen minutes to an hour of cooking.

LIQUID

  • For best results and to prevent food from drying or burning, always ensure an adequate amount of liquid is used in the recipe.
  • Ensure the stoneware is always filled a minimum of ½ full and a maximum of ¾ full, and conform to recommended cook times.
