IMPORTANT: Use caution when handling hot foods.

1. When you have finished using the unit, turn the Function Dial to "Off", unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before handling.

Steam Cooking:

Steam Infused Cooking cooks foods fast and healthy all by the introduction of steam during the cooking process. The Steam Roasting technique can be applied to a variety of meats you would traditionally roast in your oven. Some cuts of meat benefit from searing BEFORE roasting while other cuts benefit from searing AFTER roasting.

No preheating is required when searing before roasting.

Most meats can be seared for less than 10 minutes. You do not want to cook the meat, simply brown the meat to add color.

Add water to the bottom of the cooking pot. In general, 1 cup of water equals 10 minutes of steam time. If additional water is required during the cooking process, cautiously lift the lid away from you and add room temperature water. Water should NOT exceed the roasting rack or touch the food as that will result in poaching.

Use caution when placing hot meats on roasting rack.

CAUTION: DO NOT add any liquids to the base of the main housing of the appliance.

HINTS & TIPS:

1 Cooking times may vary based on the selected temperature, the current temperature of the cooking pot and the temperature of the ingredients.
2 Always use nonstick utensils in the cooking pot. Metal utensils may damage the non-stick coating.
3 For even browning, make sure that the food is in an even layer on the bottom of the cooking pot or roasting rack.
4 Cooking time and temperature can be adjusted at any time during the cooking cycle in Oven.
Press the Time/Oven Temp button and turn the Adjustment Dial to adjust.
5 Cooked foods may not brown or crisp on top as much as in a conventional oven. Instead foods will brown on the bottom and crisp on the bottom and sides.
6 If you do not manually set a temperature and time, the unit will automatically start at the preset temperature and time.
7 Multiple modes may be required to cook recipes. To change modes during cooking cycles, simply turn the Function Dial to select the new desired mode. Once the new mode is selected, begin the programming process.
8 If the cooking pot is removed during the cooking cycle and then placed back into the unit, the cooking process will continue as though it was not interrupted.
