Sear (430–450°F/221–232°C)

Searing allows you to prepare meats for stews, soups, and other dishes. It uses high temperatures to cook the outside surfaces quickly, trapping flavor and juices inside.

Slow Cook (Low or High)

Slow Cook allows the Multi-Cooker to be used like a slow cooker, making it ideal for slow cooking BBQ, chili, and meatballs, to name just a few.

Sauté (330–370°F/166–188°C)

Sautéing is ideal for giving meats and vegetables a fresh, crisp flavor and texture. Use sauté for creating oriental dishes, stir- fries, and breakfast foods such as sausage and scrambled eggs.

Boil/Steam (192–232°F/89–111°C)

Use Boil/Steam to prepare a variety of foods such as hot cereals, steam shrimp, or to heat delicate foods such as fish with indirect heat.

Keep Warm (165°F/74°C)

Keep Warm mode is designed to keep foods at serving temperature after cooking has finished for up to 24 hours. Certain cooking methods and modes feature an automatic Keep Warm mode. For other cooking methods and modes, Keep Warm can be selected manually

IMPORTANT: Use Keep Warm only with fully cooked food. Keep Warm is intended to keep fully cooked food at serving temperature.

Simmer (185–210°F/85–99°C)

Simmer is great for soups and stews where a gentle cooking helps yield rich, hearty flavors.
