Cooking Temperatures

The table below indicates how to cook a piece of food to its required core temperature. The core temperature (once reached) does not change even when submerged for longer periods of time. Note: The core temperature is the temperature in the centre of the food.

Food Type Core Temp. Cooking Result Beef, Lamb, Pork 52-55℃ Rare Beef, Lamb, Pork 57-60℃ Medium rare Beef, Lamb, Pork 62-65℃ Medium Beef, Lamb, Pork 66-69℃ Medium well Beef, Lamb, Pork 70-72℃ Well Done Poultry(Boneless) 72-74℃ Cooked through Poultry(Bones) 85-87℃ Cooked through Fish/Seafood 40-42℃ Rare Fish/Seafood 42-45℃ Medium Fish/Seafood 46-52℃ Well done Vegetables 80-87℃ Cooked through The following is recommended as a guide for cooking your foods. TIP: It is highly recommended that all foods are grilled, fried, seared or baked for a few minutes once they have completed their sous vide process for optimal flavour. NOTE: The temperature and time guidelines are an indication only. You will need to experiment to achieve results that best suit your pallet. NOTE: Pork and poultry may only be consumed when thoroughly cooked through to avoid the risk of salmonella or other infection. TIP: As all sous vide cookers operate by heating a water bath to a set temperature, all recipes you find for sous vide cooking can be used with your KOGAN sous vide cooker.

Troubleshooting Noise

Under normal operation the system will hum due to the motor, impeller and cooling fan in operation.

Grinding Noise

The stainless steel skirt is loose. Push the stainless skirt up into guide groove and turn to the right until the hole aligns the nut insert inside the body. With the skirt secure, the noise will go away. There might be the chance of the stirring shaft was inadvertently bent. If this is the case, unscrew the bottom pump disc and gently push the impeller until it is centred.

Slurping Noise

Your pump has formed a water vortex like when you are emptying out a bathroom sink or tub. Add more water or gently disturb with a spoon. There is no sure way to eliminate a vortex forming due to the pump rotation but usually will go away on its own.

Gurgling +Whoosh Noise

The pump is sucking air - add more water. You should also see small bubbles in your tank.

Food Damage

23

The pump’s water jet is cracking eggs or damaging fish fillets: Turn the pump outlet to face the container wall; this will greatly temper the flow of the pump output. It is also good practice to bag eggs to prevent them from being “blown” around in certain containers.

Low Water Level Alarm

Add more water - the water level can be dropped during operation by pump due to water turbulence. And the pump generates “Waves” - sometimes these waves will cause the water level at the sensors to fluctuate up and down. The waves sometimes drop the water level right under the sensor and will cause a low water alarm. This is normal and you just need to add more water. The appliance will display “Err” with Bi-Bi of alarm for 2 minutes to return to the original state or until you add more water and restart the unit.

Temperature Reading Does Not Match with Thermometer:

Sous Vide cooker is calibrated to a scientific platinum primary standard which is far more accurate than store thermometers.

When the machine is out of work, please check power plug and breakers. Lights are slightly flickering when system is on, this is a normal phenomenon.

Disposal

This marking indicates that this appliance should not be disposed with other house-hold wastes. To prevent possible harm to the environment or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal, recycle it responsibly to promote the sustainable reuse of material resources.
