INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing Saki Smart Sous-Vide Precision Cooker! Sous-vide is a slow
cooking method where you must place the food in sealed zip bags or vacuum bags,
then allow the cooker to heat and circulate the water. Sous-vide cooks the food
evenly, retaining your meal’s natural moisture, without overcooking the outer
surface. Each dish will be particularly fresh and tasty.
