Critical Success Points

  • Peeling the celery without damaging its shape
  • Sealing the bag correctly for sous‑vide so no water enters
  • Maintaining the precise sous‑vide temperature (95‑98°C)
  • Layering cheese and truffle evenly to act as a binder
  • Emulsifying the sauce with butter without breaking

Safety Warnings

  • The sous‑vide bag will be hot; use tongs or a heat‑proof glove when handling.
  • Oven temperature of 140°C is moderate but the dish retains heat; allow cooling before serving to children.
  • Butter can splatter when emulsifying; keep a splatter guard on the saucepan.
