STEAMING

Steaming is one of the healthiest methods of cooking. No butter or oil is required and fewer nutrients are lost in the steaming process. Four cups/one quart of water is used for basic steaming unless otherwise specified.

BROWN/SAUTÉ

Use Brown/Sauté as you would a skillet or sauté pan on the stovetop for a variety of recipes. Prepare a quickly sautéed skillet dish, or brown food right in the pot as the first step in many braised or slow-cooked family favorites.

To reheat foods, use Brown/Sauté at 350°F and stir until all ingredients are warmed through. Then switch to Slow Cook/Warm until ready to serve.
