Important cord information

This appliance is equipped with a 3-wire cord set that has a

3-wire grounding plug. It should be properly connected to a

grounding-type outlet. The plug is designed to ﬁt a grounded

3-prong outlet ONLY and as such, the grounding prong should

never be removed. Do not modify this plug. If the plug does not

ﬁt the outlet securely, call a qualiﬁed electrician for assistance.

A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord)

is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entan-

gled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are

available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is

used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension

cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating

of the appliance;

2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape

over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled

on by children or tripped over unintentionally; and

3) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or

extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Intended use

This sous-vide stick is designed exclusively for cooking vacuum-

packed foods. The appliance is not intended for any other

purpose, nor for use beyond the scope described. The appliance

is intended for use in private households only and not for use in

commercial or industrial environments. The appliance is intended

only for indoor domestic use. Claims of any kind for damage

resulting from misuse, incompetent repairs, unauthorized modiﬁ-

cation, or the use of unauthorized spare parts will not be

accepted. The risk shall be borne solely by the user.

Danger if not used as intended! The appliance may be

hazardous if used for any other purpose or for use beyond the

scope described in these operating instructions.

► Use the appliance only for its intended purpose.

► Observe the procedures described in these operating instructions.

What does sous-vide mean?

Sous-vide (French for under vacuum) or vacuum cooking is a

special cooking method in which the food is ﬁrst vacuum-packed

in special plastic bags and then cooked at a low temperature in

a water bath. The cooking temperatures remain under 212 °F,

which makes it a very gentle cooking method. The low temperatures

change the products more slowly at a molecular level, making

the cooking results all the more tender and juicy. In sous-vide

cooking, the airtight packaging retains nearly all the ﬂavor and

nutrients, which makes vacuum-cooked food particularly ﬂavorful.

The aromas of spices and other ﬂavors become more intense

under a vacuum. Therefore, use them sparingly and add more

later if necessary.

Another beneﬁt is that the core temperature can be controlled

precisely – so the rule of thumb is: water temperature = core

temperature. Overcooking the food is almost impossible if the

temperature has been correctly set since the individual ingredients

do not get any hotter than the temperature of the water.

SSVS 1000 A2

You will need the following accessories (not supplied) to cook

using the sous-vide method:

- pot

- vacuum sealer

- special vacuum bags or plastic bags that are heat-resistant

and contain no plasticizers or similar that can be absorbed

Cooking food at core temperature

The following tables show the temperature of a piece of food

(e.g. a piece of meat) when the core temperature is reached. This does

not change even after longer submersion in the pot, as the core tempera-

ture in the food is never higher than the set water temperature.

The core temperature is the temperature in the middle of the food.

We recommend the following temperatures to reach the best degree of

cooking:

ture Cooking level

Beef, lamb, pork,

and game

120°F blue – almost raw

124°F–130°F rare – cooked around the

edge

130°F–140°F medium rare –

a large part still pink

140°F–150°F medium – pink in the

middle

150°F–154°F medium well done – al-

most completely cooked

154°F–160°F well done –

thoroughly cooked

Poultry

162°F

(boneless) cooked

186°F

(with bones) cooked

Fish and seafood

104°F glazed –

barely done

106°F–114°F "mi-cuit" –
