HEAT
Place the sealed pouch into the water bath once the water has reached the target temperature for cooking. If using multiple pouches, place them vertically in the pouch rack in the water bath. Be sure the food in all pouches is completely under the water surface for cooking. Do not place large pouches horizontally in the sous vide, as this will impede the convection circulation of water around the perimeter of the water bath.
Sear
Some foods, such as steak, chops, tenderloin, fish, seafood, or poultry with the skin are commonly served with a caramelized or crisp exterior, which is not possible in
the moist environment of the sous vide cooking pouch. After coming to the proper temperature, these foods require a quick finishing sear that can only be provided by a brief exposure to a very hot temperature.
The Sear step can be done by putting the meat, fish, poultry, or seafood into a very hot, lightly oiled skillet (taken to the smoking point) or onto a hot grill, under the broiler of an oven, or by using a kitchen torch to caramelize the surface of the food. Take care just to caramelize/brown the surface (1 to 2 minutes) to enhance color and flavor.
Or Sauce
Another option is to sauce your food. Foods such as fish, seafood, or chicken are quite delicious plated directly from the pouch and topped with a favorite sauce.
Serve
You are now on your way to exploring the delightful benefits of sous vide cooking with your sous vide.
NOTE
Raw or unpasteurized food must never be served to highly susceptible immune compromised individuals.
Food Standards recommend that for safety, food should not be consumed if kept between 5°C and 55°C for longer than 4 hours.
