Cooking Menus Overview
The Sunbeam Duos has 2 cooking menus.
Time. The cooking time depends on the
thickness of the food, rather than the weight
of the food. The default cooking time is 1
hour. Time can be set from 1 hour to 24
hours. See the Sous Vide Temperature and
Time Guide on page 12 for more information.
Sous Vide Cooking
Sous Vide has been a popular cooking
method in restaurants for several years.
Sous Vide is a French term which means
‘under vacuum’ and describes food placed
in vacuum sealed pouches and cooked in
a water oven. Food slowly cooks at precise
low temperatures over a long period of
time to achieve succulent, superb tasting
meals. Sealing foods inside pouches allows
it to cook in its own juices in addition to
any marinades, seasonings etc you wish
to add. Vitamins, minerals and juices are
retained within the food and natural flavours
are intensified. This allows the food to be
healthier, more tender and flavoursome.
Meats cooked in a sous vide tend to be
more tender, tougher and mostly cheaper yet
flavour filled cuts of meats such as chuck
steak can be used.
Ideal Foods for Sous Vide Cooking. Meats are
ideal to cook using the sous vide method as
they are more tender, succulent and flavour
filled.
Red meats - Lamb, beef and pork.
Poultry - Chicken, turkey, duck.
Fish and Seafood - Fish, lobster tails,
scallops.
Vegetables - Root Vegetables. Potato,
carrot, parsnip, beets, turnips.
Vegetables - Tender Vegetables. Peas,
asparagus, corn, broccoli, cauliflower,
eggplant, onions, squash.
As sous vide cooking requires foods and
meats to be sealed individually, yet cooked
at the same time; it is perfect for families
and entertaining when there are people with
varied tastes and nutritional requirements.
Fruit - Firm Fruits. Apple, pear.
Fruit - Tender Fruits. Mango, plum, apricot,
peach, nectarine, papaya, strawberry.
It is difficult to overcook using the Sous
Vide method, although textures can change
slightly. As it's difficult to overcook, it allows
food to be cooked ahead of time, perfect for
family meals and entertaining.
Steps to Sous Vide cooking
Step 1. Seasoning your food
To enhance the flavour of your food, you
may wish to marinade or add spices, herbs,
butter or oil to your vacuum pouch prior to
sealing.
Temperatures. The Sunbeam Duos has a
40°C to 90°C temperature range, with 1°C
increment selection. Different temperatures
are required for different types of food and
for different degrees of doneness. See the
Sous Vide Temperature and Time Guide on
page 12.
Step 2. Vacuum sealing your food
Sous vide cooking requires food to be
vacuum sealed inside pouches to ensure
excess air and moisture are removed, so
the natural taste and nutritional quality
7
Cooking Menus Overview continued
of the food is captured. Vacuum sealing
also assists in opening the pores in food
such as meat, poultry and seafood so that
marinades and seasonings are more readily
absorbed for highlighted flavour.
Food Safety Guidelines for Sous Vide Cooking
CAUTION. Food cooked using the Sous Vide
method of cooking is not recommended for
consumption by those in an ‘at risk’ category
(low immune deficiency);
Oxygen and moisture in air cause food
to degrade and lose flavour, texture and
nutritional value. Commercial quality
vacuum systems remove air and moisture
before sealing items airtight to create
a commercial quality vacuum. We
• Pregnant women
• Small children
• Elderly
• Those suffering from illness/disease
The below guidelines regarding using the Sous
Vide method will help to ensure good food
hygiene safety.
recommend Sunbeam FoodSaver vacuum
sealers and FoodSaver bags and rolls.
Step 3. Cooking your food
Food Preparation
When the water temperature has been
reached in the sous vide, place the
pouches carefully in the water. Ensure the
pouches are fully submerged in water, and
that water can easily circulate around the
pouches for even cooking.
• All food items to be used for cooking using
the Sous Vide method should be of the
highest quality in freshness.
• Ensure that all meat, seafood, poultry and
game have been stored at below 5°C before
preparation begins. Using a digital food
thermometer to check the temperature is
recommended.
Step 4. Searing your food
When sous vide cooking is completed,
you may wish to finish off by searing to
improve the appearance and flavour of
the food. This is particularly suited to
meats. Remove the food from the pouch.
Quickly sear meat in a hot pan. This will
caramelise the fats and proteins for extra
flavour.
• Make sure that the food pouches are clean
and have not been contaminated by dirt or
other food contaminants.
• Use detergent and warm water, or a
sanitizing solution to wash the food
preparation area.
• Separate the raw ingredient preparation
area from the finished product area
• Wash hands well before commencing any
food preparation.
• Prepare foods to the recommended
thickness according to the Sous Vide
Temperature and Time Guide on page
12. Smaller cuts of meat will cook more
quickly.

Slow Cooking
Slow Cooking achieves flavour filled meals,
and tender moist meats cooked to perfection.
Slow Cooking provides healthy, simple and
economical cooking. It requires minimal
supervision, short preparation times and
quick clean up times.
• Use the Sous Vide Temperature and Time
Guide for cooking times and temperatures.
• Ensure that the cooking pouch is
completely sealed before cooking
commences.
• Ensure that the cooking pouch is still
completely sealed when cooking has
finished.
LOW Setting. This is suitable for simmering
and slow cooking.
HIGH Setting. This is for faster cooking.
Typically 1 hour on HIGH = approximately 2 -
2.5 hours on LOW.
Storage
• If the food is not going to be consumed
immediately, plunge the pouch containing
the food into iced water to reduce
temperature quickly. Refrigerate until
required.
KEEP WARM Setting. When slow cooking
time is completed, the Sunbeam Duos
automatically switches to the Keep Warm
setting to prevent overcooking and to keep
your cooked food warm until serving - perfect
for busy families, those on the run and those
who need flexible meal times. This setting
is not hot enough to cook, and should only
be used to keep hot, cooked food warm for
serving.
Reheating
• Reheat food until internal temperature is
above 75°C.

14
Care and Cleaning
Cleaning should only be carried out when the
Sunbeam Duos is switched off and the plug
removed from the socket. Allow the water
to cool, and then pour out. Do not leave
water sitting in the pan. Allow the unit to
completely cool before cleaning.
Do not use the removable cooking pan on
the stovetop, inside a microwave oven or
inside an oven. Use the pan only inside the
Sunbeam Duos unit.
The lid and the removable cooking pan are
dishwasher safe for added convenience.
Place the lid on the upper rack of your
dishwasher. To remove food that is cooked
onto the bottom of the removable cooking
pan, soak the pan in warm water before
cleaning. Dry thoroughly before replacing the
pan in the unit.
Wipe the exterior of the Sunbeam Duos with
a damp cloth and polish dry. DO NOT use
harsh abrasives, scourers or chemicals to
clean any part of the Sunbeam Duos as these
will damage the surfaces.
Do not immerse the Sunbeam Duos unit in
water or place in a dishwasher.
15
Hints and Tips
With your Sunbeam Duos you can create a
wide variety of meals. Various foods take
different times to cook perfectly to your
individual taste, so sometimes it may take a
little trial and error to get the cooking times
right for you.
Lid
• Condensation can accumulate on the
inside of the lid, reducing your vision.
Carefully tilt the lid away from you so that
the condensation falls back into the pan.
• Lifting the lid. Both sous vide and
slow cooker cooking methods use low
temperatures and therefore they do not
recover lost heat quickly. If you need to
lift the lid, do so quickly to minimise heat
loss.
Capacity
• Don’t overfill or under fill your Sunbeam
Duos unit. Ensure the level is between the
FILL (minimum) and MAX markings on the
inside of the cooking pan. When using the
sous vide menu, always ensure that the
water covers the food pouches. When using
the slow cooker, always ensure that liquid
covers the food.
Food Safety Guidelines for Sous Vide Cooking
CAUTION. Food cooked using the Sous Vide
method of cooking is not recommended for
consumption by those in an ‘at risk’ category
(low immune deficiency);
• To speed up the time needed for the
unit to reach the desired Sous Vide
temperature, fill with warm (not hot) water.
• Pregnant women
• Small children
Food
• Elderly
• Cuts of Meat. Sous Vide and Slow Cooking
are perfect for the cheaper, tough cuts
of meats, as the lengthy cooking process
tenderises these cuts and enhances the
flavours. Note that thinner cuts of meat
will cook more quickly.
• Evenly cooked food. To ensure food cooks
evenly in the same amount of time,
we recommend food is cut to similar
thicknesses/ sizes.
• Those suffering from illness/disease
Slow Cooking
• If you are slow cooking, you may wish
to brown your meats first in a frypan.
Browning meat prior to slow cooking not
only gives your food great colour, it also
seals in the juices and flavours and keeps
the meat tender.
• Slow Cooking prevents evaporation,
resulting in the flavours and juices being
maintained. Keep this in mind when
creating your own recipes, as you may not
require as much liquid as you would when
using other cooking methods.
16
Hints and Tips continued
Slow Cooked Roasts
Slow Cooked Stocks
• You can roast a whole chicken as well as
whole pieces of meat, such as lamb, beef,
veal and pork by using the Slow Cook
menu.
• Roasts can be cooked without the addition
of liquid as they will release juices while
cooking. These juices are great to make
sauces and gravies.
• Roasting in the Slow Cooker will not brown
your meat or chicken, as roasting in an
oven does. If you want your roast to be
golden, we recommend browning the meat
first for a few minutes in a frypan to sear
the meat, and then slow cook.
• With your Sunbeam Duos you can easily
make stocks. Many slow cooker recipes
use stock as part of the ingredients. A
good stock is also the base of a great soup.
Stocks can be bought at supermarkets;
however, nothing beats the flavour of a
homemade stock.
• Making your own stock is a great way to use
up bones or carcasses that would normally
be thrown away.
• There is no need to peel your vegetables
when making a stock. Just ensure you wash
them well before use.
• Fresh made stock will keep in the
refrigerator for up to 4 days, but can be
frozen for up to 3 months.
• Approximate cooking times for well done:
LOW 2 hours per 500g
• Always label and date your stock before
storing. It’s a good idea to freeze stock
in portioned sizes. So for example if you
generally use stocks in stews, casseroles,
curries etc, then freeze your stock in 1
cup portions. If you tend to use your stock
more for gravies and sauces, then freeze
it in smaller ¼ cup portions or even in
ice cube trays, so that you don’t need to
defrost large quantities at a time.
HIGH 1 hour per 500g
Note: Unlike roasting in your oven, meat
cooked to well done in the slow cooker will
still be very tender.
Slow Cooked Roast Chicken
• Wash the chicken in cold running water
and pat dry with an absorbent paper towel.
Rub with a little olive oil and season all
over with salt and pepper (or any other
spices you wish). Using a frypan, brown
the chicken for a few minutes on each side
until golden, then slow cook.
• To remove the excess fat, place the stock
in the fridge overnight, then skim the
solidified fat from the surface.
Note: Ensure chicken is cooked all the way
through by inserting a skewer or knife into
the meatiest part of the chicken. The juices
will be clear when the chicken is cooked
through. If the juices are pink, a little more
cooking is required.
