DEEP FRY Kettle Only

CAUTION: To avoid personal injury: 1) Position multi-cooker well back from edge of counter or table. Do not let cord hang or drape over edge of counter or table within reach of children. 2) Do not add water or wet foods to cooking oil. Even small amounts of water will cause oil to spatter.

Remove the cover for all deep frying. Never use any cover while oil is heating or while deep frying foods in this unit.

Use only a good reliable standard brand of vegetable oil or all-purpose shortening for deep frying. Deep frying foods in butter, margarine, olive oil, or animal fat is not recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.

Use 8 cups of oil or shortening. This allows for oil displacement and promotes even frying.

Remove excess moisture from moist foods by blotting with paper toweling before deep frying. Moist foods cause excessive foaming and spattering. Set heat control at 400° and preheat oil for 20 minutes. Place food in steam/fry basket. Lower into heated oil. Fry until food is well browned. Lift steam/fry basket and using drain hook, hook basket onto multi-cooker rim to drain.

Do not overload basket. Too many items lower the oil temperature causing food to absorb oil and/or cook improperly. Fry similar sized items for even browning and doneness.

Place uniform size pieces in a single layer on the bottom of the steam/fry basket. Smaller amounts cook faster.

Oil can be reused several times but must be strained after each use. Cool the oil completely then strain it through a sieve, wire strainer, double layers of cheesecloth, or a filter-lined funnel. Place the strained oil in a container labeled with date and type of food cooked. Store oil in cool, dark place.

Use caution when deep frying flour tortillas. Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During deep frying, oil can become trapped within these bubbles. If not properly drained the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Therefore, after deep frying tortillas, carefully raise them out of the cooking oil, but not out of the multi-cooker and allow oil to drain from the tortilla for approximately 30 seconds.

The following recipe is recommended as an excellent coating for most fried foods:

Electric multi-cooker specifications

The Presto Electric Multi-Cooker is an innovative kitchen appliance designed to streamline cooking, making it easier and faster to prepare a wide variety of meals. This versatile device combines several cooking methods in one unit, allowing users to pressure cook, slow cook, sauté, steam, and even can. Its ability to perform multiple functions saves both time and countertop space, making it an excellent addition to any kitchen.

One of the standout features of the Presto Electric Multi-Cooker is its pressure cooking capability. Using high pressure enables food to cook rapidly, significantly reducing cooking times for dishes such as stews, beans, and grains. The built-in pressure cooker can make tough meats tender in a fraction of the time it usually takes, ensuring delicious meals are ready in no time. Users will appreciate the adjustable pressure settings, which allow for customization based on the specific needs of the dish being prepared.

In addition to pressure cooking, the multi-cooker offers a slow cooking option, ideal for those who prefer to set their meals and let them cook gradually. This feature is particularly useful for recipes that benefit from low, slow cooking, such as chili or roasts. The slow cook function operates quietly, allowing for a hassle-free experience while one goes about their day.

Another impressive technology incorporated in the Presto Electric Multi-Cooker is the sauté functionality. This feature allows users to brown meat or soften vegetables directly in the cooking pot before pressure cooking or slow cooking. This step often enhances the flavor profile of meals, creating more depth in taste.

The steam function is also an important aspect of the multi-cooker. It allows for healthy cooking options, particularly for vegetables, ensuring they retain their nutrients and vibrant colors. This method of cooking is both quick and maintains the integrity of delicate ingredients.

Built with safety in mind, the Presto Electric Multi-Cooker includes multiple safety features such as a locking lid to prevent accidental opening under pressure, a steam release valve, and a cover that prevents overheating. The user-friendly control panel makes setting cooking times and temperatures simple, ensuring that both novice and seasoned cooks can achieve excellent results.

The interior pot is often non-stick, making cleanup a breeze, essential for busy individuals. Its compact size makes it suitable for small kitchens while still providing ample cooking capacity for family meals.

In summary, the Presto Electric Multi-Cooker is a versatile, efficient, and safe kitchen appliance that empowers cooks to explore various culinary techniques. Its combination of pressure cooking, slow cooking, sautéing, and steaming makes it an invaluable tool for anyone looking to simplify their cooking process while still enjoying delicious meals.
