IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. The cooking pot and the main body of the circulator can get hot when used. Use an oven mitt when handling. Allow the system to cool before emptying the water bath.
3. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse the cord, plugs, or entire circulator in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow cooling before putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. To disconnect, turn the circulator off, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliances other than intended use.
14. Intended for countertop use only.
15.  WARNING: Spilled water can cause serious burns. Keep appliances and cords away from children. Never drape
    cord over the edge of the counter, never use outlet below the counter.
16.  A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled 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.
17. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
    (a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
    (b) 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
    (c) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
18. CAUTION – To ensure continued protection against the risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.
19. Please use caution when removing the food pouches as they are hot – the use of tongs to handle the pouches is highly recommended.
20. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE.
21.  BURN HAZARD – Do not reach into the water bath to retrieve food pouches – use tongs.
22. Firmly lock the product on the bath container with the screw clamp. Place the container on an even surface to prevent spills and tipping over. If the product is wobbling and not firmly attached to the tank, in doubt, please change the tank to a more suitable one before using the sous vide circulator as it might not be appropriate.
23.  WARNING: If your circulator falls into water disconnect power ASAP to avoid shock and then send back the system to repair. Do not retrieve the unit until you have unplugged the cord. Do not attempt to use the system if this has happened.
24. Never use deionized water.
25. Sous vides pouches shall never float. Excess air in the packaging will reduce heat transfer. In both cases, as a consequence food is not pasteurized even if the cooking time is respected.
    Food Safety Warning
    The food safety issues in cooking sous vide are different from more conventional forms of cooking. Do not start to cook before you fully understand the specified food handling practices to prevent, eliminate, or reduce the food biological, chemical, and physical hazards to a safe level.

BEFORE FIRST USE

CLEANING INSTRUCTION
Before using your Sous Vide Circulator for the first time, make sure to wipe it with a soft cloth to prevent scratching.
HOW TO SET IT UP
While your All-Clad Sous Vide circulator can be used with most containers, we suggest using a container deep enough (>6.5 inches or 16.50 cm) to ensure the clamp can be fixed to the side of the container.

1. Once you have the appropriate container, attach the Sous Vide Circulator to one of the container’s sides and make sure the plug does not go over the water. (Fig. 1)
2. Fill up the container to at least the minimum water requirement. (Fig. 2)

NOTE:

• Do not use a container that you cannot attach the Sous Vide Circulator to its side.
• If there is not enough water in the container, your circulator will start beeping and will display “LOW WATER LEVEL”. You will not be able to use it until you have enough water in the container. (Fig. 3)
• Your All-Clad Sous Vide Circulator is equipped with a rotating head to accommodate you with the best viewing option during usage. (Fig. 4)

USE

1. Plug the Sous Vide Circulator into a power supply, the circulator will beep once. (Fig. 5)

COOKING TEMPERATURE AND TIME GUIDELINE

Doneness Target Temperatures

Caution: Foods are not pasteurized under low temperature (i.e. below 55°c or 131°F) or with too short a time over 55°c and so may pose a health risk to certain individuals. These individuals include pregnant women, young children, the elderly, or otherwise immunocompromised. Those individuals should stick to the FDA food code guidelines instead of this table. For further details, please refer to the Food Safety section.

These individuals include pregnant women, young children, the elderly, or otherwise immunocompromised. Those individuals should stick to the FDA food code guidelines instead of this table. For further details please refer to the Food Safety section.

1 Thickness measurements are based on the thickest section of the food and measured through the vacuum-sealed pouch. Cooking times are for foods starting at refrigerator temperature. Add 50% of recommended cooking time if starting from frozen.
² Tough cuts of meat will heat through to serving temperature at the same time as tender cuts. We recommend longer cooking times for lean, tough cuts to tenderize them.
³ Eggs cooked in the shell should not be sealed in cooking pouches.
Food Safety
Food Preparation

• Purchase raw food from an approved source or distributor. If the food has visible spoilage, contamination with filth, discoloration, or bad odors or tastes, it should be disposed of immediately.
• Preventing contamination from equipment and utensils, food that comes in contact with equipment and utensils should be cleaned.
• Food must be vacuum-sealed, heat-sealed, or zip-locked before use with the circulator.
• If not cooked immediately, chill the food in the refrigerator at 37°F / 3°C or below.
• The best way to kill parasites in seafood is to freeze and hold the type of seafood that you plan to cook, or we recommend buying seafood that has been commercially flash-frozen. Please follow the proper cooking time and temperature to achieve pasteurization.
  The standards for freezing for parasite control are to either cook the fish at:
  a. −31°F (−35°C) for 15 hours, or
  b. −4°F (−20°C) for 7 days, or
  c. frozen at −35°C (−31°F) until solid and stored at −20°C (−4°F) or below at least 1 day.
  Cooking
• Recipes are assessed for temperature/time combinations that provide minimum bacterial destruction for all pasteurized foods. For a combination of temperature/time, please refer to the section “COOKING TEMPERATURE AND TIME GUIDELINE.”
• The minimum pasteurized temperature is 55°C for all meats and fish, except poultry for which the minimum pasteurized temperature is 57°C.
• Sous vide cooking below 131°F / 55°C must not exceed a period of 4 hours. Foods cooked at temperatures below 131°F / 55°C for longer than 4 hours must be discarded.
• Raw foods or foods not fully pasteurized may pose a health risk to certain individuals. These individuals include pregnant women, young children, the elderly, or otherwise immune-compromised.
• After cooking, foods shall be consumed immediately.
• Reaching pasteurization requires respect for the temperature, duration of cooking, and max thickness. Any deviation in at least one of the three parameters will not guarantee to reach pasteurization.

RECIPES

Sous Vide New York Strip Recipe
INGREDIENTS

• New York Strip Steaks, 1 inch thick
• Sea Salt
• Cracked Black Pepper
• Avocado Oil (or another high smoke point oil)

SOUS VIDE COOKING RECOMMANDATION

• 136.5°F – 145.5°F (58 – 63°C)
• 2 hours 20 minutes

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the water bath to your ideal temperature (see chart on the side). We prefer 136.5°F (58°C), since the slightly higher temperature helps render some of the fat on the New York Strip.
2. Generously season with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and any aromatics such as rosemary.
3. Vacuum seal the steak or place it in a heavy-duty Ziploc bag using the water displacement method.
4. Place bagged steak in a water bath and cook for 2 hours 20 minutes.
5. Remove steak and pat dry with paper towels.
6. Pre-heat cast iron pan on medium-high heat and add avocado oil (or another high smoke point oil).
7. Sear steak on a hot cast iron pan for approximately 1 minute, flipping every 15 seconds.
8.  Add butter and any aromatics to the pan for added flavor and crispness. Sear for an additional 30 seconds. Make sure to also sear the strip of fat on the side!
9. (Optional) Use a searing torch for a perfect crust.
10. Before serving, use a spoon to top the steak with the leftover juices and butter from the pan – this will help further develop the crust and add flavor.
11. Cut against the grain. Enjoy!

Simple Pan-Seared Sous Vide Halibut Recipe

INGREDIENTS

• 4 (8-oz) pieces of halibut, no more than 11/2 inches thick
• Kosher salt to taste
• 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 4 lemon wedges

SOUS VIDE COOKING RECOMMANDATION

• 131° F (55°C)
• 0 Hours 15 Minutes

Caution: Foods are not pasteurized under low temperature (i.e. below 55°c or 131°F) or with too short a time over 55°c and so may pose a health risk to certain individuals.  These individuals include pregnant women, young children, the elderly, or otherwise immune-compromised. Those individuals should stick to the FDA food code guidelines instead of this table. For further details please refer to the Food Safety section.”
DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat your water bath to 131°F / 55°C
2. Season halibut with salt and coat with 1 teaspoon of olive oil (using a brush or your fingers). Vacuum seal the halibut or place it in a 1-gallon Ziploc bag using the water displacement method.
3. Lower bagged halibut into the water bath and cook for 15 minutes.
4. Remove the bag from your bath. Carefully transfer the cooked halibut to a paper towel-lined plate or tray to blot away any moisture. (Note: the cooked fish is extremely  delicate, so it will flake apart very easily—a fish spatula is a good tool to use here.)
5. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil until the oil shimmers.
6. Place the halibut pieces in the pan and sear until light golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
7. Carefully flip each piece of the halibut, and cook 30 seconds more.
8. Transfer halibut pieces to plates, garnish each with a lemon wedge and serve with your choice of sides.

Chicken Breast Sous Vide Recipe
INGREDIENTS

• 4 boneless skin-on chicken breasts, about 2 pounds (sometimes sold as “airline” or “frenched” breast with the drumette attached; if so, remove the drumette and save for stock/discard) and max. 1.5 inch thick
• Salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
• Flakey sea salt, such as Maldon or fleur de sel, to finish (optional)

SOUS VIDE COOKING RECOMMANDATION

• 140° F (60°C)
• 2 hours 25 minutes

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat water bath to 140°F / 60°C
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and place in a 1-gallon freezer zip bag.
3. Vacuum seal the chicken or place it in a 1-gallon Ziploc bag using the water displacement method. Lower the bagged chicken into your water bath and cook for 2 hours 25  minutes (or up to 5 hours).
4. Remove the bag from the water and transfer the chicken to a plate.
5. Pat the breasts thoroughly dry with a paper towel.
6. Preheat a large sauté pan over medium heat.
7. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan, swirling it until the foam has subsided. Add the chicken breasts skin side down to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the skin is deeply browned and crisped.
8. Once the skin has browned, flip the breasts and cook for 30 seconds more before transferring it to a cutting board.
9. To serve, slice the chicken breasts against the grain and divide between four plates, sprinkle with the flakey salt, and serve with your choice of sides.

CLEANING

• Always unplug the Sous Vide Circulator and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
•  To remove dirt from the shaft, gently press the release button and slide out the shaft from the body.
• Use soapy water to clean the shaft and circulator.
• Clean the appliance body with a damp cloth.
  NOTE: The shaft is dishwashable.
  CAUTION: Do not allow debris to accumulate, as this may damage the heater and circulator.
  DANGER: Never immerse the circulator in water.
  CAUTION: Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents, or aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean the circulator.
  CAUTION: Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

DESCALE

Why descale?

• Limescale naturally builds up around the heating elements if the water you are using is hard. Descaling helps to maintain your appliance so that it lasts longer and offers constantly offers high quality performance. Limescale can permanently alter the performance of your appliance. Malfunctions linked to scaling are not covered by the warranty if the product is returned.

When to descale?

• The descaling frequency depends on the hardness of the water and the number of uses. If you notice the following signs: longer cycle time, more noise at the end of the cycle, stopping midcycle, your machine needs descaling.

How to descale your All-Clad Sous Vide Circulator

• Pour an equal amount of vinegar and water into a container.
• Start a cycle of the regular cycle of 30 min with a temperature set at 140°F / 60°C.
• At the end of the cycle, your appliance should be clean, if not, simply extend the cycle duration or repeat the process.
