WHEN COOKING IS COMPLETE

USING THE MULTI-COOKER

ROASTING WITH THE ROASTING RACK

The Multi-Cooker includes a combination steam basket and roasting rack for multilevel cooking.

NOTE: Steam basket/roasting rack cannot be used with the optional Stir Tower accessory.

Lower steam basket/roasting rack into cooking pot, as shown.

2 Place ingredients to be roasted on rack. Cover with lid.

STEAMING WITH THE STEAM BASKET

1 Add water to the bottom of the cooking pot. For best results, do not exceed approx. 18 oz./0.5 L.

Lower steam basket/roasting rack into cooking pot as shown and place ingredients to be steamed in basket. Cover with lid. When cooking has finished, remove food with a spoon or tongs.

Refer to the following tips for getting the most out of the different cooking modes.

Searing and sauteing:

• For best browning results, pat exterior surfaces of meat dry with paper towels before sauteing or searing.
  It's important not to overcrowd the cooking pot when browning meat for a recipe. Brown 0.5 lbs (227 g) or less at a time for the best results and to avoid steaming the meat.
• If using oil or butter for sautéing, add it after preheating the Multi-Cooker.
• To easily drain grease after searing or sautéing food, place the lid on the cooking pot in the drain position and hold it securely with hot pads while pouring grease into a heat-resistant container.
• When sautéing vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and garlic, add larger cut ingredients first and cook for several minutes before adding smaller cut foods such as minced garlic. This ensures all of the vegetables are evenly cooked and the garlic does not burn.

Steaming:

• It is not necessary to allow the unit to preheat when steaming foods; simply add water, place food on the steaming rack, and set the Multi-Cooker to Steam. At the end of the preheat time, press the START button.
• Foods will steam faster if cooked in a single layer. Larger amounts of food may need to be repositioned midway through the cooking time for even results.
• Foods that have been cut or trimmed into pieces approximately the same size will cook more evenly.
• Make sure the lid covers the cooking pot spout to trap steam for optimal cooking performance.
• Remove the lid slowly during steaming.

Rice:

It is important to measure rice and water accurately before cooking for best results.
- Some varieties of rice are washed/rinsed prior to cooking. U.S. varieties generally are not, as they have been enriched with vitamins and minerals. Rinsing these types of rice removes the added nutrients. If washing rice before cooking, be sure to measure it before washing, not after, and try to drain as much water away as possible before adding the amount needed for cooking.
After adding rice and water to the Multi-Cooker pot, spread the rice into an even layer on the bottom for the best cooking results. Do not remove the lid during cooking.
- Make sure the lid covers the cooking pot spout to trap steam for optimal rice cooking performance.
- Most types of rice will be slightly undercooked at the end of the Rice cooking cycle. Allowing the cooked rice to rest in the cooking pot with the lid on for 5 to 10 minutes will allow the last bit of moisture to be absorbed.
- Oil, butter, salt, and other seasonings can all be added if desired. Stir in prior to starting the Rice cooking cycle. Liquids other than water can also be used to add flavor. Try substituting fish, poultry, vegetable, or meat stocks or broths.
- Chopped fresh herbs can be stirred into cooked rice at the end of the cooking cycle before allowing the rice to rest.

Soup:

• Follow the cooking tips for "Searing and sauteing" when using this part of the Soup cooking cycle.
• The bits of cooked-on foods on the bottom of the cooking pot after browning contain lots of flavor. Add some of the liquid from your recipe and scrape them up with a wooden spoon to add depth and more intense flavor to your soup.
  Cutting foods into pieces approximately the same size will ensure the most even cooking results.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

• It is not necessary to thaw frozen vegetables prior to adding to a soup for cooking, but the cooking time may need to be lengthened. Frozen meats should be thawed before cooking with the Soup cycle to be sure they are properly cooked through.
  It's best to add dairy ingredients such as cream, milk, or cheeses near the end of cooking to prevent separation.

Risotto:

• In general, the rice for risotto should be sautéed in some type of fat prior to adding any of the liquids in the recipe. Allow the Multi-Cooker to preheat in the Sauté stage, and then add butter or oil as outlined in your recipe. Add the amount of rice specified in the recipe and stir it occasionally for several minutes or until the outer edges of the rice grains are semi-transparent but the interior is still white. Other ingredients that need to be sautéed such as onions, garlic, or other vegetables can also be added and cooked during this step.
• If your recipe calls for wine, add it before adding the other liquids. This allows the flavor of the wine to be absorbed into the rice.
• Heat the liquids for your risotto recipe on the stove or in the microwave until very hot, generally just below the boiling point.
• Add hot liquids to the rice in 1-cup increments and stir constantly until almost all of the liquid has been absorbed before adding more.
• It is best to add cheese, herbs or other delicate ingredients during the last few minutes of cooking.
• To prevent overcooking and keep the texture of the risotto creamy, remove the cooking pot from the multi-cooker base after your recipe is finished if not serving immediately.

Slow Cooking:

• As a general rule for using your favorite recipes in the Multi-Cooker, increase the amounts of herbs and seasonings to offset the effect of longer cooking times.
• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the Multi-Cooker. Always thaw meats prior to slow cooking. The size you cut food into can affect its taste and texture. To assure uniformity of cooking, cut vegetables of similar density, such as potatoes, carrots, and parsnips, into similar-sized pieces. In general, dense vegetables should be slightly smaller than more tender vegetables.
• Cutting meats into large pieces allows longer cooking times and avoids overcooking.
• Some foods are not suited for extended cooking. Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added 2 hours before serving.
• Add garnishes, fresh herbs, and quick-cooking vegetables toward the end of the cooking cycle. For example, you can add peas, corn, and freshly sliced squash in the last 10 to 20 minutes.

Yogurt:

• Yogurt can be made from whole, reduced fat, or fat-free milk. Whole or 2% milk will result in yogurt with a thicker texture.
• For best results, refrigerate yogurt before straining whey through cheesecloth for a thicker texture.
• Once you start making your own yogurt, you can use some of the previous batch to make the next one. Only do this 2-3 times before starting with fresh.

Manual:

• When heating a large amount of water for cooking pasta or other foods, use Manual mode at the highest temperature setting (450^ / 232^) . Note that the display will likely continue to scroll "preheating" even after the water has reached a full rolling boil, as the unit is sensing the water temperature.

Unplug your Multi-Cooker from the outlet before cleaning.

• Allow Multi-Cooker and accessories to cool completely before cleaning.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads. They could scratch the surface.
• Wipe the outside of the Multi-Cooker with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. A nonabrasive liquid cleaner may be used for stubborn stains.

• The ceramic nonstick coating of the multi-cooker pot is scratch-resistant. However, dropping or hard impacts can chip or crack the ceramic coating.

• The pot of the Multi-Cooker has a nonstick coating for easy cleaning. Repeated washing in the dishwasher can reduce the effectiveness of the nonstick coating.

NOTE: The lid and pot are dishwasher durable, but hand washing in hot, soapy water is recommended to maximize the life of the nonstick coating.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative. This product is designed for household use only.
