  • Page 21 - English - : English OPERATING THE MULTICOOKER TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS Cooking tips Refer to the following tips for getting the most out of the different cooking modes Searing and Sautéing For best browning results pat exterior surfaces of meat dry with paper towels before sautéing or searing Its important not to overcrowd the cooking pot when browning meat for a recipe Brown approx 025 kg or less at a time for the best results and to avoid steaming the meat If using oil or butter for sautéing add it after the preheating the multicooker To easily drain grease after searing or sautéing food place the lid on the cooking pot in the drain position and hold it securely with hot pads while pouring grease into a heat safe container When sautéing vegetables such as carrots celery onions and garlic add larger cut ingredients rst and cook for several minutes before adding smaller cut foods such as minced garlic This ensures all of the vegetables are evenly cooked and the garlic does not burn Steaming It is not necessary to allow the unit to preheat when steaming foods simply add water place food on the steaming rack and set the multicooker to STEAM At the end of the preheat time press the START button Foods will steam faster if cooked in a single layer Larger amounts of food may need to be repositioned midway through the cooking time for even results Foods that have been cut or trimmed into pieces approximately the same size will cook more evenly Make sure the lid covers the cooking pot spout to trap steam for optimal cooking performance Removing the lid slowly during steaming Rice It is important to measure rice and water accurately before cooking for best results Some varieties of rice are washedrinsed prior to cooking US varieties generally are not as they have been enriched with vitamins and minerals Rinsing these types of rice removes the added nutrients If washing rice before cooking be sure to measure it before washing not after and try to drain as much water away as possible before adding the amount needed for cooking After adding rice and water to the multicooker pot spread the rice into an even layer on the bottom for the best cooking results Do not remove the lid during cooking Most types of rice will be slightly undercooked at the end of the Rice cooking cycle Allowing the cooked rice to rest in the cooking pot with the lid on for 5 to 10 minutes will allow the last bit of moisture to be absorbed Oil butter and salt and other seasonings can all be added if desired Stir in prior to starting the Rice cooking cycle Liquids other than water can also be used to add avour Try substituting sh poultry vegetable or meat stocks or broths Chopped fresh herbs can be stirring into cooked rice at the end of the cooking cycle before allowing the rice to rest Make sure the lid covers the cooking pot spout to trap steam for optimal rice cooking performance Soup Follow the cooking tips for SautéSear when using this part of the Soup cooking cycle The bits of cooked on foods on the bottom of the cooking pot after browning contain lots of avour Add some of the liquid from your recipe and scrape them up with a wooden spoon to add depth and more intense avour to your soup Cutting foods into pieces approximately the same size will ensure the most even cooking results W10778323Av05indd 21 32615 517 PM
  • Page 22 - English - : TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS CARE AND CLEANING It is not necessary to thaw frozen vegetables prior to adding to a soup for cooking but the cooking time may need to be lengthened Frozen meats should be thawed before cooking with the Soup cycle to be sure they are properly cooked through Its best to add dairy ingredients such as cream milk or cheeses near the end of cooking to prevent separation Risotto In general the rice for risotto should be sautéed in some type of fat prior to adding any of the liquids in the recipe Allow the multicooker to preheat in the Sauté stage and then add butter or oil as outlined in your recipe Add the amount of rice specied in the recipe and stir it occasionally for several minutes or until the outer edges of the rice grains are semi transparent but the interior is still white Other ingredients that need to be sautéed such as onions garlic or other vegetables can also be added and cooked during this step If your recipe calls for wine add it before adding the other liquids This allows the avour of the wine to be absorbed into the rice Heat the liquids for your risotto recipe on the stove or in the microwave until very hot generally just below the boiling point Add hot liquids to the rice in 1cup 190 g increments and stir constantly until almost all of the liquid has been absorbed before adding more It is best to add cheese herbs or other delicate ingredients during the last few minutes of cooking To prevent overcooking and keep the texture of the risotto creamy remove the cooking pot from the multicooker base after your recipe is nished if not serving immediately SlowCooking As a general rule for using your favourite recipes in the MultiCooker increase the amounts of herbs and seasonings to offset the effect of longer cooking times Do not use frozen uncooked meat in the MultiCooker Always thaw meats prior to slow cooking The size you cut food into can affect its taste and texture To assure uniformity of cooking cut vegetables of similar density such as potatoes carrots and parsnips into similarsized pieces In general dense vegetables should be slightly smaller than more tender vegetables Cutting meats into large pieces allows longer cooking times and avoids overcooking Some foods are not suited for extended cooking Pasta seafood milk cream or sour cream should be added 2 hours before serving Add garnishes fresh herbs and quick cooking vegetables toward the end of the cooking cycle For example you can add peas corn and freshly sliced squash in the last 10 to 20 minutes Yogurt Yogurt can be made from whole reduced fat or fat free milk Whole or 2 milk will result in yogurt with a thicker texture For best result refrigerate yogurt before straining whey through cheese cloth for a thicker texture Once you start making your own yogurt you can use some of the previous batch to make the next one Only do this 23 times before starting with fresh Manual When heating a large amount of water for cooking pasta or other foods use MANUAL mode at the highest temperature setting 230 C 450 F Note that the display will likely continue to scroll preheating even after the water has reached a full rolling boil as the unit is sensing the water temperature TROUBLESHOOTING W10778323Av05indd 22 32615 517 PM
