「炊きたて」
| • Stir foods well to prevent seasonings from settling to | |
| the bottom of the inner pan. | |
| • To simmer foods in broth, cool the broth before | |
| starting the cooking process. | |
| • To thicken with starch, add the starch at the very | |
| end of the cooking process. | |
| • Kneaded foods such as fish sausage and fish paste | |
| swell when heated, therefore be careful how much | |
Note | is used. | |
• Remove cooking odors after cooking. (See “How to | ||
| ||
| Deodorize” on p. 27.) | |
| • If the food is not cooked, do not press the [Cancel] | |
| key to further cook the food. The Keep warm lamp | |
| goes out and the food cannot be cooked further. (If | |
| pressed by accident, remove the inner pan and set | |
| it on a wet kitchen towel, leave the rice cooker lid | |
| open for about 10 minutes and cool the rice cooker | |
| and the inner pan. Then, set the inner pan back in | |
| the rice cooker and start cooking again.) | |

Under “Slow Cook”, the food is first brought to a near boil, then it is lowered to about 207°F/97°C and left to simmer. The temperature is then lowered even further to about 198 °F/92°C and simmering continues. By gradually lowering the heat, flavors seep in well. Even after heating for a long period of time, there is no worry about liquids boiling down. This process is ideal for slowly simmering large quantities of food for long periods of time such as stew or oden (hotchpotch)!
Tip: | With stewed foods, flavors seep in better if | |
the food is first heated and then kept warm | ||
| ||
| for a while. |
