Parts and controls

Storage containers

Use to store food under vacuum to preserve the freshness and extend the shelf life of food contained in them, to marinate food, or to reheat it in the microwave. The glass container is also suitable for use in the oven.

Before using the containers in the microwave or oven, make sure you remove the lid.
Important!

Do not fill the container higher than 1 cm below the rim.
The glass container can be put in the heated oven directly from the freezer.
Never put a hot container in water. Allow the container to cool slowly.

Lid with vacuum seal

For airtight sealing of the containers. The lids of the storage containers are equipped with a vacuum indicator. When the indicator visibly dimples inwards, a vacuum has been attained.
To remove a lid with vacuum applied, first grip the vacuum seal at one end and pull it up. Sufficient air has to get inside for the lid to be removed.
The lids of the storage containers are equipped with a date indicator. Turn the two rings to set the day and month when the food was added.

Drip tray

The drip tray separates the food from liquid that is excreted during storage. Liquid collects under the drip tray.

Vacuum zipper bags

Use to store food under vacuum to preserve the freshness and extend the shelf life of food contained in them, to marinate food or for sous-vide cooking.
Use only original Bosch vacuum zipper bags.
For storing liquids (such as soup) we recommend using containers.

Sous-vide cooking

Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking under a vacuum at low temperatures.

Health risk!

When preparing food for sous-vide cooking it is important that you always follow the application and hygiene instructions below:

Only use high-quality, perfectly fresh food.
Wash and disinfect your hands.
Take extra care when preparing critical food, such as poultry, eggs and fish.
Always keep work surfaces and chopping boards clean.
Maintain the cold chain. Make sure that you only interrupt it briefly to prepare the food, and then return the food in its vacuum-sealed bag to the refrigerator for storage before you cook it.
Once the food is cooked, consume it immediately. Do not store it after cooking – not even in the refrigerator. It is not suitable for reheating.
Where possible, position the items of food in the bag next to each other and not on top of each other.
We recommend to keep the vacuum seal out of the water.

For professional sous-vide cooking results we recommend to use Bosch vacuum drawer.
