C

Place the bag onto a flat surface and, using your hand, carefully push out as much of the air from the bag as you can. Be careful not to squash or damage the ingredients when you do this. Then, close the seal on the bag.

1. Water Immersion Method (fig. E)

Fill a container big enough to hold the zip bag and ingredients with cold water. Put the ingredients into the bag and close the seal almost all of the way, just leaving a small opening at one corner. Slowly push the bag into the water, leaving the unsealed corner sticking up out of the water. When you do this, make sure that no water accidentally enters the bag. As you immerse the bag, the water will push almost all of the remaining air out. Finally, seal the corner and remove the bag from the container.

For Silicon bags:

Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the bag.

For vacuum pack machines:

A purpose-made vacuum sealer suitable for food use is perfect for sous vide cooking. Use the correct bags as recommended by the manufacturer, and follow the instructions that come with the machine.

USING THE SOUS VIDE MODE

1. Add hot water and fill the cooking pot to approximately halfway. Use water from the hot water tap (not boiling). Try to get the temperature of the water as close as you can to the temperature you are cooking at, as this will cut down any unnecessary waiting time. Use a mixture of hot and cold water as required. If the water that you put in the cooker is at a temperature that is very different from the temperature you will be cooking at, the appliance will take a lot longer to either heat the water up or cool it down to the selected temperature.
2. Plug in the appliance. The main control display will flash "----". This indicates that the heat is off and the appliance is ready to be programmed.
3. Put the bagged food into the cooking pot, ensuring that it is fully submerged. Add additional water if needed.
4. Cover with the glass lid.
5. Press the Sous Vide button.
6. The default cooking temperature is set at 57°C. To change the temperature, use the ▲ and ▼ buttons. The range is approx. 38 to 96°C.
7. Next, press the Time button. The default cooking time is 1 hour. To adjust the cooking time, use the ▲ and ▼ buttons. The maximum cooking time is 20 hours.
8. Press the I/O button. The display will stop flashing and the cooking pot will start to heat up.
9. At this point the water will start heating up to the target temperature. The amount of time that takes varies. The bagged food can stay in the water during the heating up time as long as the set temperature is 55°C or above. The cooking cycle timer will only begin to count down once the water has reached the target temperature.
10. When the cooking time has ended, the unit will beep three times and automatically switch to the keep warm setting. The display will flash and start counting up from zero (00:00) to 4 hours (04:00). After the keep warm setting has been on for 4 hours, the unit will stop heating and return to the default display: "----". Note: Do not keep foods on the keep warm setting for more than 4 hours.
11. Unplug the appliance when not in use and always allow it to completely cool before cleaning and storing.

Finishing Steps

Some foods can be eaten straight after cooking. For steaks and other meats, searing after cooking is essential for the best flavour and texture.

Use your multicooker's Sear function to sear the edges and sides of the meat to your preference (up to 2 minutes per side).

NOTES ON COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY

To minimise the risks of illness due to improperly cooked food, please note the following:

Cooking food at the right temperature and for the correct length of time will ensure that any harmful bacteria are killed. Always check the advice on food packaging and follow the cooking instructions provided. For food safety reasons, food cooked below 55°C (e.g. steak) should not be cooked for longer than 2 hours and must be seared on the outside. Fish is often cooked at temperatures lower than 55°C and if you intend to do this, it is important that you buy fish that is classed as Sushi grade (i.e. fish that can be eaten raw). Do not take meat out early. Let it cook at least for the minimum length of time on the chart at the correct temperature. It is OK to leave meat in longer than the minimum time range. Fish is the exception to this rule. Fish will get mushy if overcooked using the sous vide function. Always check that food is correctly cooked through (e.g. for pork, poultry, etc. till the juices run clear). Cook fish till the flesh is opaque throughout. Adding chilled ingredients straight from the refrigerator can rapidly decrease the temperature of the water and therefore add significantly to the overall cooking time. In a similar way, adding a lot of ingredients to the cooking pot can also lower the water temperature.

SLOW COOKING

THE BENEFITS OF SLOW COOKING

Health: The gentle cooking action reduces damage to vitamins and retains more of the nutrients and flavours. Economy: Long, slow cooking can tenderise the cheaper, tougher cuts of meat, and uses about a quarter of the power of the small ring on the average hob. Convenience: Prepare the ingredients the night before, put them in the slow cooker before you leave, and have a delicious meal waiting for you when you get home.

USING THE SLOW COOKING MODE

1. Add the ingredients to the cooking pot and cover with the glass lid.
2. Plug in the appliance. The main control display will flash "----". This indicates that the heat is off and the appliance is ready to be programmed.
3. Press the Slow Cook High or Slow Cook Low button as desired.
4. The display will show a flashing default time. For the low setting, the default cooking time is 8 hours and for the high setting the default time is 4 hours. To adjust the cooking time, use the ▲ and ▼ buttons. The maximum cooking time is 20 hours.
5. Press the I/O button to begin cooking. The display will stop flashing and the "::" between the numbers will flash, indicating the unit is cooking.
6. When the cooking time has ended, the unit will beep three times and automatically switch to the keep warm setting. The display will flash and start counting up from zero (00:00) to 4 hours (04:00). After the keep warm setting has been on for 4 hours, the unit will stop heating and return to the default display: "----". Note: Do not keep foods on the keep warm setting for more than 4 hours. Unplug the appliance when not in use and always allow it to completely cool before cleaning and storing.

Making Adjustments During Cooking

You may adjust the time during the cooking cycle by pressing the and buttons. After 3 seconds of no buttons being pressed, the numbers will stop flashing and the new time for cooking will begin.

GENERAL TIPS

• Keep in mind that ingredients used straight from the fridge can increase the cooking time. Try not to open the lid unnecessarily during cooking. A lot of heat can escape when you do this and it can take your multi cooker a long time to recover.
• When testing a dish to see if it's cooked, don't forget that root vegetables usually take longer to cook. Thaw frozen food completely before adding it to the cooking pot. Pre-browning meat beforehand is not strictly necessary but can help seal in the moisture and add depth to the flavour. Use your multi cooker's sear function to brown meat.
• Store ingredients prepared beforehand (e.g. the night before) in containers in the fridge. Don't put the multi cooker or the cooking pot into the fridge.
• When cooking with rice, use at least 150ml ( 1/4 pt) of cooking liquid for each 100g (4 oz) of rice.
• Pasta isn't suitable for slow cooking, it becomes too soft. If your recipe requires pasta, it should be pre-cooked and then stirred in 30-40 minutes before the end of the cooking time. After all the ingredients are put into the cooking pot, it shouldn't be more than about three quarters full. If you overfill, it may spit hot liquid or overflow during use. If the finished dish is too liquid, it can be thickened using a little cornflour, arrowroot, etc. For each 250 - 300ml of liquid, mix together 2 tbsp of cornflour with enough water to form a thin paste. Add the paste to the dish approx. 30-45 minutes before the end of cooking. Alternatively, stir in ready-made gravy granules following the manufacturer's instructions.

COOKING GUIDELINES

Vegetables

Slow cooking is ideal for vegetables. There's little evaporation, so all the juices and flavours are retained.

Root vegetables like potato, carrot, turnip, and swede, need more slow cooking than meat. Cut them into bite-size pieces and immerse in the cooking liquid. Place the vegetables as close to the bottom of the pot as possible.

Quickly cooked vegetables, like peas and sweetcorn, should be added half an hour before the end of cooking.

Pulses (Beans, Peas and Lentils)

Some dried pulses (lentils, peas, etc.) may need soaking before use. Always check any recommendations on the packaging before using.

WARNING: dried beans (e.g., red kidney beans, cannellini, etc.) should be soaked for a minimum of 8 hours and boiled for at least 10 minutes before adding to the slow cooker. They are poisonous if eaten raw or undercooked.

Meat and Poultry

Slow cooking tenderises cheaper cuts, and reduces shrinkage and evaporation, retaining flavour and nutritional value. The leanest cuts of meat are best for slow cooking. - Trim excess fat from the meat because this can add to the liquid during cooking in the form of fat. - Where possible, use chicken without skin. - Cut the meat into evenly sized cubes (approx. 2.5 cm) for casseroles and stews.

TIPS

• The maximum capacity of the frying pan is approximately 1.8-2.2 kg of chicken or 1.3-1.8 kg of meat for frying. If you prefer a more intense flavor of fried meat, use the SEAR function before frying to brown the meat. Always cook with the lid closed. Open the lid as little as possible to ensure even cooking and prevent heat loss. Using a meat thermometer can significantly improve the final result and make it more precise.

COOKING IN VACUUM

For vacuum cooking, you will need a vacuum bag or container in which the ingredients are placed. After that, remove as much air as possible from it, and then seal it hermetically.

PREPARATION

Place the sachets in the selected package. Use one sachet per serving. Try to make the portions approximately equal. Squeeze as much air as possible out of the sachet and seal it tightly.

For sachets with a zip lock:

1. Flat method (Fig. D)

Place the sachet on a flat surface and with one hand carefully squeeze out as much air as possible. Be careful not to crush or damage the food blocks. Then seal the sachet tightly.

2. Water displacement method (Fig. E)

Fill a container with cold water, placing the sachet with the zip lock and the food block. Place the food block in the sachet and close it almost completely, leaving a small opening at one of the corners. Slowly lower the sachet into the water so that the opening corner is above the water. While doing this, make sure that water does not accidentally enter the sachet. As the sachet is lowered, the water will push out almost all the remaining air. Now close the sachet completely and remove it from the container.

For vacuum-sealed sachets:

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the sachet.

Vacuum sealing machine:

Vacuum packing is ideally done with a special vacuum sealing machine compatible with food products. Use reliable sachets recommended by the manufacturer and follow the operating instructions for the machine.

USING THE COOKING MODE IN VACUUM

1. Fill the pot with water up to about the middle. Use filtered or bottled water (not boiling). Ideally, the water temperature should be as close as possible to the cooking temperature. This will save you time in heating/cooling. If necessary, use hot water diluted with cold. If the water temperature in the pot is significantly different from the cooking temperature, the appliance will need significantly more time to heat/cool the water to the desired temperature.
2. Connect the appliance to the electrical outlet. On the main control panel, the indicator (<---) will light up. This means that heating is off and the appliance is ready for programming.
3. Place the packaged food blocks in the pot so that the sachet is completely submerged. Add water if necessary. If you need to prepare several servings at once, place the sachets in the compartments provided (included in the kit). 4. Close the pot with the glass lid.
4. Press the COOK button to start cooking in vacuum.
5. The default cooking temperature is 57°C. To change the temperature, use the ▲ and ▼ buttons. The temperature range will be approximately from 38 to 96°C.
6. Then press the TIME button. The default cooking time is 1 hour. To change the cooking time, use the ▲ and ▼ buttons. The maximum cooking time is 20 hours.
7. Press the I/O button. The display will turn off, and the pot will start heating.
8. At this moment, the water will begin to heat to the set temperature. The time required for this may vary. Sealed ingredients can remain in the water during heating, once the temperature is set to 55°C or above. The timer will start counting down only after the water reaches the set temperature. Upon completion of the cooking time, the device will emit a sound signal and automatically switch to the keep-warm mode. The display will then start counting from zero (00:00) up to 4 hours (04:00). After 4 hours in keep-warm mode, the device will stop working, and the display will show the standby indicator: "----". Note: Do not keep food in the appliance for more than 4 hours in keep-warm mode. If the appliance is not in use, unplug it from the wall outlet. Always wait until the device has completely cooled down before cleaning or moving it to a storage place.

END OF PROCESSING

Some dishes can be eaten immediately after cooking. For steaks and other meat dishes, resting after cooking is necessary to achieve the best flavor and texture.

Use the sauté function of the multicooker to sear the edges and sides of the meat to your liking (up to 2 minutes per side).

NOTE REGARDING COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY

To avoid the risk of illness from improperly cooked food, pay attention to the following points.

Properly setting the temperature and cooking time will eliminate all harmful bacteria. It is essential to read the food packaging instructions and follow them accordingly. For safety reasons, dishes that are cooked at temperatures below 55°C (e.g., steaks) should not be processed for more than 2 hours. They should be seared. Fish should not be cooked at temperatures below 55°C. In this case, buy fish that is classified as sushi-grade or safe for raw consumption (i.e., fish that can be eaten raw). Do not remove meat dishes from the appliance too early. They must cook for at least the minimum recommended time indicated in the table, at the appropriate temperature. - It is permissible to process meat for additional time beyond the minimum. Fish is an exception to this rule.

Exceeding the processing time for a fish dish using the vacuum cooking function will result in the final product having an overly soft texture.

• Make sure the food is ready inside (for example, pork juice, poultry, etc. must be clear).

Check with a food thermometer to ensure it is no longer pink.

Advice

The maximum volume for roasting is approximately 1.8-2.2 kg of chicken or 1.3-1.8 kg of meat. If you want to get more juicy roasted meat, use the browning function first to seal the meat. Be sure to close the lid during roasting. Open the lid as little as possible to ensure even cooking and to prevent heat loss. Using a meat thermometer can significantly improve the final result.

SOUS VIDE

For cooking in the sous vide mode, place the food in a vacuum bag or a bag in which the ingredients are placed. After that, remove as much air as possible from the bag, then seal it hermetically.

PREPARATION

Place the ingredients in the cooking pot or multicooker. Use one packet per serving. Stir so that the portions are uniform. Remove the packet from the pot and close it.

Changing the cooking time during preparation

You can change the cooking cycle by pressing the buttons. A few seconds after the last button press, the appliance will start a new cooking cycle.

GENERAL TIPS

• Remember that adding ingredients from the refrigerator may increase the cooking time. Try not to open the lid unnecessarily during cooking. If you open the lid, a lot of steam may escape, and the appliance may need more time to resume cooking.
• To test readiness, remember that root vegetables usually require more time to cook. Thoroughly defrost frozen products before adding them to the pot. Preheating is not absolutely necessary, but it can help maintain the temperature and achieve better results. Use the multicooker function for cooking meat. Store ingredients prepared in advance (e.g., in the evening) in containers in the refrigerator. Do not place the multicooker or pot in the refrigerator.

When cooking rice dishes, use a ratio of 150 ml (5 oz) of water per 100 g (4 oz) of rice. Pasta is not suitable for slow cooking; it becomes too soft. If your recipe includes pasta, cook it separately and add it to the dish 30-40 minutes before the end of cooking. After adding all ingredients to the pot, it should be filled no more than three quarters full. If the pot is overfilled, hot liquid may splash out or it may overflow during use. If the dish is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a little cornstarch mixed with water. For every 250-300 ml of liquid, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with enough water to make a thin paste. Add this paste to the dish about 30-45 minutes before the end of cooking. Or add ready-made sauce according to the manufacturer's instructions.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Vegetables

Slow cooking is ideal for vegetables. The lid should not be opened, so all juices and aromas are preserved.

Root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, turnips, and rutabagas require longer cooking times. Cut them into small pieces and immerse them in boiling water. Place vegetables as close to the bottom of the pot as possible.

Vegetables that cook quickly, such as peas and sweet corn, should be added shortly before the end of cooking.

Legumes (beans, peas, lentils)

Some dried legumes (lentils, peas, etc.) need to be soaked before use. Always check the package recommendations before use.

TIP: To use the steamer (basket, first basket, second basket), set the timer to 8 minutes and the temperature to 10 minutes, before adding them to the multicooker. If they are not cooked or are undercooked, they will be raw.

Meat weight

Properly prepared meat dishes and stews retain their taste and nutritional value. The best way to prepare meat dishes is to use meat with a reduced fat content. - Choose lean meat, as it can be added to the dish during cooking in the form of a dish. If possible, cook without oil. - Wash and dry the meat. Cut the meat into cubes of the same size (approximately 2.5 cm).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR USING THE STEAMER

The indicated values are approximate and may vary depending on the ingredients and their quantity. Check before cooking to ensure the dish is fully cooked.
