What is Sous Vide?

Sous-vide, French for “under vacuum”, is a method of cooking food sealed in airtight plastic bags in a water bath for a long time-72 hours is not unusual-at an accurately determined temperature much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 60 °C or 140 °F. The intention is to maintain the integrity of ingredients and achieve very precise control of cooking. Read the full article at Wikipedia ›

RELYVAC

RelyVac machines have been designed in Melbourne and are the perfect accompaniment  for sous vide cooking.

RelyVac are a series of chamber  vacuum machines, that offer ease of use.  The machines are specified with larger than normal vacuum pumps enabling the user to process more bags per minute .  Each machine can be easily changed to suit the product  :  Time of vacuum, time of sealing and most important time of cooling, (prior to the lid raising and the cycle finishing).

RelyVac is the first to offer variable heat for bar sealing.  Vacuum bags vary in thickness and they are sensitive to heat that is either to low or too high. RelyVac allows the user to choose low, medium, or high heat, depending on the bag micron value (thickness).

The machines come with a  fully removeable heating  arm,  which ensures complete sealing.  The models are designated by the size of the sealing bar, i.e. the RV350 has  a bar seal of 350mm.

The 350MD has  a deep chamber ‘pocket’ for stand up bags.  Our  standard range is listed above BUT larger machines  can be quoted.

The electrical circuit supplying the vacuumm machine must have 5 amps on single phase power  available at all times.  Lack of adequate supply  may cause electrical failure which will not be covered under warranty


A NOTE FROM RELY: These are our standard machines only, if you have specific requirements please enquire.

Sous Vide Vacuum Packaging Bags

 

Long term safe storage solution

Why use vacuum packaging?
Storage: this method provides extended shelf  life and optimum protection against spoilage. By preventing food from coming into contact with oxygen its freshness is retained longer than conventional storage methods. Micro-organisms such as bacteria, mould and yeast cannot grow in a vacuum. When used in combination with blast chilling, it is possible to obtain even longer storage periods for sensitive fresh produce than by using vacuum sealing alone. Thus, there are many ways available to store product without damaging the structure of food.

Cooking: Sous vide cooking requires food to be vacuum sealed in 70 micron bags.

Can any bag or pouch be used?
No. Different foods, processes and end uses require different packaging.A simple package may consist of many layers of specialised plastic which perform a specific purpose. If the wrong type of plastic is used, results can be disastrous.

Why are different plastics used?
The range of plastics used in packaging is large. Each type has a specific function and purpose including protection, appearance, shelf life, recyclability, sous vide cooking,  and cost. eg. loaf of bread – expected to be used in 2-3 days; typically packaged in polyethylene bags without an air tight seal; block of cheese – expected to be kept longer but tends to spoil quickly; therefore vacuum sealed inside a complex layered plastic blend consisting of polyethylene/nylon/ ethyl vinyl alcohol.

Is packaging thickness important?
Yes. Along with other factors it can play an important part in food preservation and protection. Thickness (also called gauge) is measured in microns(1/1000th of a millimetre). Typically, a standard vacuum pouch will bearound 70 microns, suitable for sous vide cooking in a waterbath with the Roner thermostat. For cooking/boiling above 90oC, thicker bags (90 microns) are recommended.
