Summary

Ten commercial combination steamers with "sous vide" cooking programmes were tested in situ. None were found to heat products uniformly when set at 80 deg C and loaded with eight standardized "sous vide" packs per shelf. The degree of non-uniformity observed indicates a significant possibility of overcooking and/or underprocessing with respect to Clostridium botulinum if the temperature-time profile of only one pack per batch is monitored.
