HOW TO SLOW COOK

SEAR setting

Searing in the multi cooker may take a little extra time and whilst not strictly necessary, the rewards are evident in the end result.

The cooking bowl keeps the heat stable and uniform allowing the meat to brown and form an even crust. Plus searing seals in the moisture, intensifies the flavour and provides more tender results.

1.Ensure exterior of the removable cooking bowl is clean before placing it in the housing (this will ensure proper contact with the inner cooking surface).

2.Plug power cord into a 230V or 240V power outlet. The STARTCANCEL button and RISOTTO button surround will illuminate in white.

3.Press the SAUTÉSEAR button, the button surround will illuminate white. Press the STARTCANCEL button to activate the setting, the button surround will illuminate red.

4.Cover with lid and allow to pre-heat for approximately 2-3 minutes (do not preheat for longer than 5 minutes).

5.Add oil/butter and allow to heat/melt for approximately 1 minute with the lid on.

6.Always sear meat and poultry in small batches. Cover with lid and cook, stirring occasionally until food is evenly browned. Remove from cooking bowl. When finished searing, proceed to the Slow Cook Settings section below.

Slow Cook Settings

The multi cooker has two slow cook settings: Low and High. Use the recommended guidelines below to determine cooking time and heat settings and use recipes in this instruction book. Dishes can be prepared well in advance and cooking time regulated so that food is ready to serve at a convenient time.

A general rule of thumb for most slow cooked meat and vegetable recipes is:

Setting Cooking Time

LOW: 6-7 hours

HIGH: 3-4 hours

Your favourite traditional recipes can also be easily adapted to this slow cooker. Simply halve the amount of liquid and increase the cooking time..

NOTE

These cooking times are approximates only and times can vary depending on ingredients, quantities in recipes and whether the cooking bowl and its ingredients are hot from searing.

As a guide meats such as chicken or small pieces of meat will have best results when cooked on high for 3-4 hours.

Larger pieces of meat such as lamb shanks will have best results when cooked on low for 6-7 hours.

Cooking Times (with Searing)

When the SAUTÉSEAR setting is used prior to slow cooking, cooking times will be shortened slightly. Check for doneness intermittently during cooking.
