The benefits provided are many: • The flavour and texture of the remains unaltered. • Both flavour and aromas are preserved, as the cooking process does not disperse them. • The reduced loss of liquid makes the food softer and less dry. • Nutrients like minerals and vitamins are preserved. • You don't need to add oils or fats for cooking. 6.4 Marinades/infusion • Turn the appliance on while holding down the button. • Place the food with the marinade in the pan. • Lift the cover and place the pan in the tank. • Press the button, which will start to flash. • Close the cover with light pressure. • Press the button to start the marinade cycle. This button will start to flash. • This button will stop flashing once the marinating cycle is completed. • The cover can then be opened and the pan removed. The marinating and infusion cycle has a preset time of 8 minutes. Increase the infusion and repeat the cycle. This infusion can be deactivated at any time by pressing the button. You can marinate food directly in the pouch. In this case, set the relevant vacuum level. 6.3 Vacuum packaging for food preservation Vacuum packing extends food preservation.
