3 Ways to Enhance your Culinary Experiences with Vacuum Technology
Elevate your culinary experience with the Bosch Fresh Vacuum System. It allows you to prepare dishes with ease and control — from marinating your food beforehand to cooking it via sous vide after. The sous vide cooking technique locks in more nutrients and moisture in your food, so you and your loved ones can always enjoy healthy and delicious meals. And with the right vacuum accessories, your fruits and vegetables can be kept fresh for up to 2 times longer*, greatly reducing your food wastage at home.
Read on to find out how vacuum technology can take your kitchen experience to the next level.
Beyond storage — explore the many uses of vacuum technology.
Vacuum sealing is often used to keep food fresh for longer. It removes oxygen from vacuum containers or bags, to create conditions below normal atmospheric pressure, effectively keeping an airtight seal with minimal oxygen to limit the growth of bacteria and fungi.
With the Bosch Fresh Vacuum System, you can now vacuum seal your fresh fruits, vegetables, and leftovers easily, to keep them fresh for up to 2 times longer*! What’s more, your food is less likely to experience freezer burn thanks to the lack of cold air within the vacuum containers and zipper bags. You can even use vacuum sealing during your meal preparation, for more effective marination of ingredients and cooking them via sous vide!
Vacuum seal your food for longer lasting freshness.
When your food is stored in vacuum conditions, it has minimal interaction with the cold air from the refrigerator. This reduces the effects of dehydration and oxidation on your food to prevent freezer burn. And your Bosch vacuum accessories ensure that all your food is stored in airtight conditions, with their taste and nutrients preserved for up to 2 times longer*.
Take your home-cooked food on the go.
Bosch vacuum containers include a date selector, to help you better keep track of the food that you have stored. Expect a busy day ahead? Simply prepare your meals beforehand and store them in vacuum containers in your refrigerator, and reheat in a microwave when you’re ready to eat! The vacuum sealing locks in the flavours and nutrients, so your meal is as fresh as it can be.
Seal in the freshness with a range of storage sizes.
Store your snacks or leftovers conveniently in our vacuum zipper bags, which come in 2 different sizes. With labels to indicate contents and date, tracking what’s in your refrigerator is a breeze. Additionally, the vacuum zipper bags are suitable for sous vide cooking, so you can even add a new cooking method to your repertoire! The Bosch vacuum containers and zipper bags are made of BPA-free material and are dishwasher-safe, making cleanup after a fuss-free experience as well.
Elevate your cooking with sous vide.
Restaurants often use this method to cook their meats to perfection, with the help of a commercial sous vide cooker. French for ‘under vacuum’, sous vide lets you cook your vacuum sealed ingredients at the lowest possible temperature in a water bath. This preserves the natural nutrients within, while flavours and moisture are completely retained at the same time. With the Bosch Fresh Vacuum System, you can use the vacuum zipper bags to create restaurant-quality dishes easily, right from the comfort of your own home.
Prepare your meals with ease.
Start by filling your Bosch vacuum zipper bags with ingredients of your choice. Attach the vacuum pump on your ErgoMixx hand blender to the bag’s valve to drain out the air. Just like that, your food is sous vide ready.
Enjoy maximum flavour while preserving nutrients.
For sous vide cooking, you will need to cook your food at low temperatures between 40 to 85°C to maintain its flavours and nutrients. When cooking fish, season it with your preferred marinades before you sous vide it at 56°C for 30 minutes. Fancy some steak instead? Sous vide it at 56°C for 90 minutes, before searing it briefly at maximum heat to lock in the roasted aroma, and voila! You’re ready to serve up the perfect steak for a perfect stay-home dinner date.
Quicker marination for fuller flavours.
Marinating your meat or fish before cooking lets you create an explosion of flavours in your dish, and marination under vacuum conditions can speed up the process. With minimal oxygen in the bag, the vacuum-sealed meat is able to soak up the spices and flavours in the marinades quickly, accelerating the marinating process. With this, you no longer have to buffer for extra marination time when preparing for a big BBQ dinner with your loved ones at home.
Food preparation is now a breeze.
Simply place your desired protein in the vacuum container or zipper bag, along with your preferred marinades, and extract the air from within using the vacuum pump of your ErgoMixx hand blender. Leave it for a couple of hours, and your meat or fish will be ready for cooking.
