鄰苯二甲酸酯
鄰苯二甲酸酯（Phthalates，PAEs），又稱酞酸酯，統稱鄰苯二甲基酯類，主要做為增塑劑（增塑劑）使用，添加到塑膠中以增強彈性、透明度、耐用性和使用壽命。鄰苯二甲酸酯也可用來軟化聚氯乙烯（PVC）。鄰苯二甲酸酯類是使用最廣泛、品種最多、產量最大的增塑劑。當被用作塑料增塑劑時，一般指的是鄰苯二甲酸與1～15個碳的醇形成的酯。其中鄰苯二甲酸二辛酯（如DEHP）是最重要的品種。

As the name of the cooker indicated “slow cooker” it takes lengthy time to heat the tap water in water bath to Preheat Temperature. The overcome solution is to heat the tap water on stove to just below the required temperature first.
3)
Sous vide cook the food which requires lower preheat temperature first. After finish increase the temperature to cook the food which requires higher preheat temperature and so on.
4)
It is NOT necessary to cook the meat/fish/scallop/vegetable before each meal. Sous Vide cook them in sufficient quantity for a week consumption and store them in refrigerator, vacuum sealed. To serve take the meat/fish/scallop out bring them to room temparture, warm them in microwave at low heat and pan-fry them to serve. Vegetable can be eaten cold as salad or hot.
5)
Because of the function limitation of the cooker cooking time can only be set from;
1 hour – 24 hours with one minute increment
For cooking time less than 1 hour, say 30 minutes, set the time to 1 hour and use the count-down to read the cooking time with a digital counter set to 30 minutes in combination.
The beauty of sous vide is bulk-cooking. Using sous vide it becomes much easier to cook large quantity of food and store them, under vacuum-sealed, in refrigerator for later use.
