Meat is perfectly tender and ready to serve exactly when you want it. Cooking is always wonderfully relaxed, leaving you free to delight in the compliments from your guests. 8

9 Vacuisine Please note Vacuum cooking (also known as «sous-vide») is the process of cooking food in vacuumsealed bags. This technique is employed in the world's best restaurants as it creates a unique combination of flavours, textures, freshness and appearance. The operating instructions contain important safety precautions. Please read these carefully before operating the appliance. You can also find detailed information on using the appliance in the operating instructions. How operating modes with steam work The appliance works very simply. Water is brought to the boil in a boiler and the resulting steam is fed into the cooking space where it condenses on the colder surfaces of the food, giving its energy to, and therefore cooking, the food. Energy transfer with steam is very efficient and provides for even steaming. The thicker the area, the more steam condenses on it, providing it with more heat. Cutting the food into smaller pieces increases its surface area, which, in turn, speeds up the cooking process. Use the perforated cooking tray whilst steaming so that the steam can cook the food as evenly as possible from all sides. 9

16 Notes and abbreviations Ingredients The ingredients listed in the recipes are based on four people unless otherwise stated. Cooking time The cooking time is calculated for the stated accessory and may vary depending on the accessory used. The cooking time stated is only intended as a guide: depending on your preference, you can make food softer or more al dente (firm to the bite) by cooking it for a longer or shorter period of time respectively. The recipes use the following abbreviations: g kg gram kilogram dl l decilitre litre tsp tbsp kt teaspoon tablespoon knife tip 16

18 Uses and tips Saving energy when preparing a menu Steaming When steaming, a variety of foods can be cooked at the same time. For example, you can prepare rice or pulses with vegetables together at the same temperature, saving on energy and washing up. The constant supply of fresh steam via from the external boiler means that there is no transfer of flavours between different foods. If the food requires different cooking times, put them into the cooking space at staggered intervals. Gentle steaming in the steam cooker means that valuable vitamins, minerals and flavours are retained rather than lost in the cooking process. What's more, the high-precision temperature setting provides the optimal conditions for cooking any type of food with steam. Rice, millet or lentils, for example, can be cooked in suitable containers with the appropriate amount of liquid and served straight from the steam cooker. Type of food Weight of food Approximate amount of liquid to be added (depending on desired consistency) Rice 100 g 1.5 dl (salted water, bouillon, etc.) Risotto 100 g 2.5 dl (water or possibly wine) Maize semolina 100 g 3 dl (water/milk mixture) (polenta) Semolina 100 g 2 3 dl water Lentils 100 g 2 3 dl water Ebly wheat 100 g dl water Millet 100 g dl water Chickpeas, soaked 100 g dl water 18

19 Baking Extracting juice Whether you are making pizza, bread, biscuits or gratin, the right operating mode helps you to achieve the perfect bake. Refer to the detailed information in the Easy- Cook. Regeneration The regeneration function allows you to reheat prepared meals or convenience food without losing out on quality or moisture. Just warm it through on heat-resistant dishes and your food will taste like it is freshly cooked. Different foods can be reheated at the same time on several levels without having to cover them. Blanching Blanching refers to the thermal treatment of food by immersing it briefly in boiling water. The same result can be achieved by briefly steaming food at 100 C in the steam cooker. The heat inactivates the enzymes and allows the vegetable to retain its colour better. Leafy vegetables (e.g. white cabbage) become softer, meaning that they are better for cooking or freezing. Steam juicing is a very gentle method of extracting juice from berries and fruits such as cherries, currents, etc. The high-energy steam causes the cell walls to explode, allowing the juice to be extracted. Preserving Steaming allows food to be preserved in glass jars. Food is preserved as the glass jars are sealed air-tight and micro-organisms are killed. Refer to the detailed information in the EasyCook. Desiccating/Drying Hot air allows food to be dried and preserved. Refer to the detailed information in the EasyCook. Immediately after blanching, plunge the vegetable into ice-cold water and dry it. If necessary, split it into portions and freeze. 19

20 Soft roasting How soft roasting works «Soft roasting seared»: Preparing the meat The «Soft roasting» function allows highquality pieces of meat to be prepared gently. You can select exactly when the cooking process is complete, irrespective of the weight and thickness of the meat. The temperature is automatically regulated. The cooking time can be set to between 2½ and 4½ hours for «Soft roasting seared» or between 1½ and 2½ hours for «Soft roasting with steam». Tips for an optimal result Take the meat out of the refrigerator ½ to 1 hour before soft roasting. Weight of meat: Soft roasting seared: 500 2,000 g Soft roasting with steam: 500 1,500 g Meat food probe temperature: up to 90 C Meat thickness: at least 4 cm Quality: lean, high-quality meat Season or marinate the meat. Remove any marinade made with herbs, mustard, etc. from the meat before searing. These constituents easily burn. Salt the meat immediately before searing. Briefly sear the meat all over for no longer than 5 minutes. Then place the meat in a glass or porcelain dish. Insert the food probe into the meat so that the tip is in the centre of the thickest part. The food probe must be inserted as far into the middle of the meat as possible to get a correct reading of the food probe temperature. The temperature inside the meat is crucial for optimal results at the end of cooking. Put the wire shelf at level 2 and place the dish on it. Insert the food probe plug into the socket. Start «Soft roasting seared», see «Selecting and starting soft roasting». Recommendation: If you do not want to sear the meat until after «Soft roasting seared» is finished, lower the recommended food probe temperature by around 3 4 C. 20

21 «Soft roasting with steam» For «Soft roasting with steam», the meat is cooked gently with steam. Since steam transfers energy better shorter cooking times and thus energy savings are possible. As steam produces condensate, more residual water is left in the cooking space at the end of the cooking process than with «Soft roasting seared». Insert the food probe into the meat so that the tip is in the centre of the thickest part. The food probe must be inserted as far into the middle of the meat as possible to get a correct reading of the food probe temperature. The temperature inside the meat is crucial for optimal results at the end of cooking. Put the stainless steel tray at level 1 and the perforated cooking tray with the meat at level 2. The perforated cooking tray allows the condensate to drain and so prevents the meat from overcooking. Tip: If you would like to add more flavour to the meat, lay it on a bed of fresh herbs or hay. Insert the food probe plug into the socket. Start «Soft roasting with steam», see selecting and starting soft roasting. After soft roasting, gently sear the meat all over for a total of 4 6 minutes. After searing, wrap the whole piece of meat in aluminium foil and leave it covered for about 5 minutes. Carve the meat and serve immediately. As the meat is only seared after soft roasting for aesthetic reasons, the recommended food probe temperature is 4 C lower than for «Soft roasting seared». 21

22 Selecting and starting soft roasting The longer the meat is cooked, the more tender and succulent it becomes. This is especially so for thicker cuts of meat. Once the programme has started it is no longer possible to change the target temperature. If the appliance is switched off, first press the adjusting knob. Press the touch button. Select. Select the desired preparation method. Select the desired type of meat. Select the desired cut. If the desired type of meat or cut cannot be selected, select the «Freely select meat type» option. Select the degree of doneness (not possible for «Freely select meat type»). The operating mode settings are displayed. The recommended values are displayed above the food probe temperature and duration; the end time calculated from these values is displayed above End. Adjust the recommended values as required. To start soft roasting, select. The food probe must be plugged in. Soft roasting starts. The target food probe temperature set and the current food probe temperature are displayed. The cooking time set and the remaining cooking time are displayed. The appliance door must be closed during operation. 22
