electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the machine. NOTE: This unit is intended for indoor use at commercial food service establishments. It is not intended for household, industrial or laboratory use. Operate unit at room temperature and if not, allow time for unit to reach room temperature. NOTE: For the most accurate temperature control, be sure to place lid on vessel when in use. NOTE: This unit will only properly operate when filled using tap water. Pure (filtered) water or distilled water cannot be detected as there are no dissolved solids in these water types. Salt can be added to pure (filtered) water if needed, but regular tap water is highly recommended for use. NOTE: Heat water only. Do not use this unit to heat oil, grease or other liquids. Other liquids may become unstable and hazardous. INTRODUCTION TO SOUS VIDE COOKING Sous vide (pronounced soo-veed) describes a method of cooking foods, sealed in plastic vacuum bags, in a water bath at precisely controlled temperatures, often much lower than those used in traditional ovens, but for longer periods of time. The technique was first developed in France and named Sous Vide, French for "under vacuum," though it would more correctly be called "without much air," since the vacuum sealing doesn't truly remove all the air from the bag. Removing most of the air from the bags, however, does reduce the chance of bacterial growth and spoilage. And the vacuum-sealed pouches prevent evaporation and the loss of flavor and nutrition, keeping the foods cooked sous vide moist, tender and flavorful. The high-precision thermostat of the Waring® Thermal Circulators water bath maintains the temperature with a tight window around the set target temperature, so food can be cooked to the perfect temperature effortlessly. Steaks prepared with the sous vide method can be cooked to the desired temperature throughout, instead of charred on the outside, overcooked below that, and perfect just in the center. A medium-rare steak cooked sous vide will be medium rare from edge to edge; a medium steak will be medium throughout; a medium-well steak, the same all the way through. No guesswork. No critical timing. No chance of overcooking. Check out waringcommercialproducts.com to see our vacuum sealing systems for food storage and sous vide cooking. 5
