Cooking Charts

These charts provide recommended cook times and temperatures for various ingredients using the Steam & Crisp, Sous Vide, and Air Fry functions. Always monitor your food for desired doneness.

Steam & Crisp Chart: Possible Pan + Crisper Tray, Bottom Level

Steam will take approximately 4-8 minutes to build.

Steaming & Crisping is a great way to get food that has a crispy exterior but is juicy inside. Before placing the food and accessory into the unit, ensure that you've added water to the bottom of the POSSIBLE PAN. This is important to ensure that steam will be produced and get you those delicious results you desire.

Don't forget to add liquid to create steam and cook your food. ?

When using Air Fry, add 5 minutes to the suggested cook time for the unit to preheat before you add ingredients.

For best results, shake, toss, or flip often. We recommend frequently checking your food and shaking, tossing, or flipping it to ensure desired results. Use these cook times as a guide, adjusting to your preference.

Remove food immediately after cook time is complete and your desired level of doneness is achieved. We recommend using an instant-read thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of proteins.

Sous Vide Chart: Crisper Tray Not Used

Please note the time ranges in this chart include the minimum cook time and the maximum cook time, after which food will start to degrade.

Cook time is dependent on the weight as well as the thickness of food, so thicker cuts of meat will require longer cook times. If your ingredients are thicker than 2 1/2 inches, add more time.

Sous Vide 101:

• "French for "under vacuum," sous vide slow-cooks food sealed in a plastic bag in an accurately regulated low-temperature water bath.
• Use 8 cups of room-temperature water when filling the Possible Pan.
• Use single-use resealable plastic bags only.
• Use the water displacement method when submerging the bags: Working with one bag at a time, leave a corner of the bag unzipped—as you slowly lower the bag into the water, the pressure of the water will force the air out of the bag. When just the bag's seal is above the water line, finish closing the bag, making sure no water gets inside. Keep the bag's seal just above the water line.
• For cook times of 4+ hours, double-bag each portion of food or wrap food in plastic wrap before placing in the bags. This will help protect food during the long period of submersion.
• After sous vide cooking is complete, use the liquid in the bags as the base for a sauce to accompany your proteins. Pour the liquid into a saucepan, season as desired, bring to a boil, then simmer until desired thickness is achieved.
• If the food you have cooked is not going to be consumed immediately, plunge the bags into ice water to reduce temperature quickly, then keep food refrigerated.
• When reheating food that has been cooked using the Sous Vide function, use the Sous Vide function again. After preheating the water, add food in the resealable bags and cook approximately 15 to 20 minutes using the desired cook temperature.
• Sous vide is almost always the first step in the cooking process. Foods should be finished by using a dry heat method such as broiling, sautéing, roasting, or air frying.

For detailed instructions on using the Sous Vide function, refer to your Owner's Guide.
