=== Vacuum packing foods with lots of sauce=== | |||
When sous vide cooking meat, one often need to add a marinade or sauce to impart good flavour but [[Andrew James Professional Quality Vacuum Food Sealer Machine|vacuum sealing]] anything containing liquids can be a huge problem. I've found a solution for this which works with the [[Andrew James Professional Quality Vacuum Food Sealer Machine]] and probably most others. You might need a spare pair of hands to ensure it doesn't all end up on the floor but basically make sure the bag is large enough to contain the food and sauce with plenty of spare room to allow you to seal without a struggle. Set the bag as you would normally for vacuum sealing and hang the vacuum bag vertically over the worktop. Press the ''vacuum seal'' button and get ready to press the ''cancel'' button. Watch the bag carefully and the moment the sauce appears to move up to the edge of the bag, press the cancel button. Press the ''seal only'' button to seal the bag. That's all you need to do. It's not vacuum sealed per se, but it's absolutely fine for sous vide cooking. | |||
