Stir-Frying
Use Auto Stir-Fry Mode with Auto-Stir Spatula (see p. 10)
STIR-FRY MODE
Stir-frying is an ancient Asian form of
cooking that includes high heat and little
oil. Foods, such as vegetables and meat
are cut into uniform pieces and are stirred
continuously as they cook to perfection.
The results oer tender cuts of meat
and crisp-tender vegetables, a delicious
combination.
Your Robotic Cooker oers the unique
Auto-Stir Spatula to accomplish the
movement of food especially needed for
this cooking method. It is truly a hands-
free operation. The following hints and
tips will help make stir-frying an easy and
delicious process:
Cut vegetables into thin slices or small
cubes. If sizes are uneven, food will not
be cooked and ready at the same time.
Cut beef, poultry, pork, lamb and seafood
into thin, evenly-sized slices. The meat
should cook very quickly for best results.
If needed, partially freeze cuts of meat
before slicing to assist in even cuts.
Choose a sauce or make your own to
complement the foods you are frying.
Use about ½ to ¾ cup sauce for a typical
stir-fry of meat and vegetables to feed
four people.
2
Sauté
Use Auto Stir-Fry Mode with Auto-Stir Spatula (see p. 10)
The sauté method of cooking is one
where foods are cooked quickly with
continual stirring. The Auto-Stir Spatula
perfectly ts this method for all your
sauté dishes. The following hints and tips
will help make your sautés wonderfully
avorful and cooked deliciously well:
Pour 1-2 tablespoons oil into the
Removable Cooking Pot before
adding foods. Add uniformly chopped
onions, garlic, celery, carrots and other
ingredients as desired.
Select tender cuts of meat and cut or slice
them uniformly for best results.
3
Pan-Fry
Use Auto Stir-Fry Mode to start;
Select Manual temps and times as directed (see p. 14).
Do not use the Stir-Fry Spatula. The
following are hints and tips to help you
achieve frying success:
Use only a small amount of oil when pan-
frying. The MAX ll line in the Removable
Cooking Pot is a depth of 1-inch. Do not
overll past the line or oil burns could
occur.
When frying foods such as chicken, heat
the Removable Cooking Pot with the
oil added for a few minutes at 375°F to
properly prepare the oil for the food.
Carefully use tongs to add the food to be
fried, avoiding splatters by gently placing
the food into the Removable Cooking
Pot. Avoid oil spills and splatters that
could drip into the heating element or
Cooker Base.
Always close the EasyVue Lid when pan-
frying, as this will help cook foods faster.
When the Robotic Cooker BEEPs and
food is cooked, use a meat thermometer
to test poultry or other cuts of meat to
determine if it is safe for consumption. If
needed, continue frying before serving.
Always allow foods to drain on paper
towels after frying. Line a large platter
with several layers of paper towels and
drain. Serve foods while warm.
4
Sauces
Use the Auto Stir-Fry Mode with Auto-Stir Spatula (see p. 10)
Many sauces, such as creamy cheese or
butter-based, can be a time-consuming
process of stirring and stirring over
very low heat. Sauces can be delicate in
structure and break down, so hand-
stirring is often required. With the Auto-
Stir Spatula feature, your Robotic Cooker
now takes over eortlessly! Here are
some helpful hints and tips for making
sauces in your Cooker:
Depending on the sauce you are making,
you may want to use the Manual mode
to decrease the temperature and time
needed. Refer to your recipe for best
results.
Many sauces start with a roux, or mixture
of butter and our melted and cooked
together. Use the Stir-Fry Mode with the
Auto-Stir Spatula to create the roux and
then add liquids such as cream, milk,
broth or wine as your recipe directs.
Use lower temperatures to make tomato-
based pasta sauces or other sauces that
sit and simmer for a long period of time.
This will help reduce splatters and oer a
more fresh avor prole overall.
Stir-Fry Mode
Default
Add sauces or small amounts of broth
as needed, carefully following safety
instructions if opening the lid while
cooking.
Depending on foods to be sautéed,
you can choose Manual temperatures
and times to ensure foods are not
undercooked or overcooked.
Use the Grill Mode to brown or sear
meats at high temperatures (see p. 24).

Stew
Use the Auto Stew Mode
STEW MODE
Stew practically cooks itself inside your
Robotic Cooker! Use the Auto Stew Mode
to set the time and temperature and walk
away until it’s done. Here are some handy
tips for usage:
Use cuts of meat such as chuck roast
and chuck steak that will become tender
within the cooking time. Meat should be
no more than 2-inches thick and cut into
1-inch cubes.
Add frozen, thawed mixed vegetables for
a quick addition to stew. Spread around
the meat pieces.
Try easy classic recipes such as Coq au
Vin, a superbly simple dish of stewed
chicken thighs with mushrooms and a
wine sauce. Your Auto Stew Mode will
cook everything perfectly. Serve over rice
or pasta for an incredible one-dish dinner.
6
Slow-Cook
Use Auto Stew Mode;
Select Manual temperatures and times as directed (see p. 14).
Slow cooked meals are the favorite of
every busy cook. Although many people
already have favorite recipes, some easy
hints and tips follow:
Slow cooked foods don’t need much
liquid, but there should be about ½ cup
in the Removable Cooking Pot to start.
Foods will cook over a long period of
time and excess moisture will self-create
liquid, however check occasionally
during the cooking period to ensure the
contents of the Pot do not become dry.
If so, carefully open the EasyVue Lid and
add a small amount of liquid.
Fill the Removable Cooking Pot at least
halfway with food for best slow-cooking
results.
Cut all ingredients into uniform sizes for
best results.
7
Soup
Use Auto Stew Mode;
Select Manual temperatures and times as directed (see p. 14).
Make satisfying, hearty soups with ease
with your Robotic Cooker. With a capacity
to hold 8 cups, the Removable Cooking
Pot is a quick and delicious way to
make soup for the entire family without
tending the stovetop constantly. Here are
a few tips for creating delectable soups:
Start delicious soups with a combination
of the vegetables and meat your family
loves. Cut all ingredients into a uniform
size so all ingredients will cook at the
same rate.
Soups don’t typically require more than
1-2 hours to simmer. You may want
to simmer meat in broth rst and add
vegetables about 30 minutes before
serving so that they remain crisp-tender.
Add pasta or rice in the last 45 minutes of
cooking and ensure the liquid-to-pasta
proportions are correct. The pasta or
rice will absorb liquid and swell while
cooking.
Remove any large herbs or bay leaves
used in simmering before serving.
Use cuts of meat with a high fat content
to help break down the connective tissue
of meat and make it tender. Select pot
roasts, chuck steak or roast, cross-rib
roasts or meaty chops or ribs.
Seafood and shellsh should not be
added to a slow-cooked dish until the
last 1-1½ hours of cooking. Refer to your
recipe for directions.
Do not place frozen, unthawed meat or
seafood into the Removable Cooking Pot
for slow-cooking.
Carefully check the Preset (Delay
Start) instructions for important safety
information regarding cooking meats
(see p. 15). It is dangerous to allow meat
or seafood to sit at room temperature
for even short amounts of time without
heating. Refer to www.foodsafety.gov for
full details regarding food safety.

Steam
Use Auto Steam Mode (see p. 13).
Steaming is a very healthful and
nutritionally sound cooking method. It
helps retain many vitamins and minerals
that can be lost through other methods.
Steaming oers very tender results and,
as such, is perfectly suited to seafood,
vegetables and other foods that break
down quickly with moist heat. The
following hints and tips will help you
create quick and easy steamed success
with your Robotic Cooker:
ALWAYS use a steamer rack inside the
Removable Cooking Pot. Racks can
be found in most stores or via online
ordering. DO NOT steam without the
Removable Cooking Pot as electrical
shock can occur if the heating element is
exposed to moisture or liquid.
Place the steamer rack inside the
Removable Cooking Pot, then place food
directly on the rack or inside a heatproof
plate or dish on top of the rack. Make
sure the lid can close completely before
starting the Auto Steam process.
Place at least 1-inch water in the
Removable Cooking Pot to allow the
Cooker to steam eciently. If steaming
for more than 20 minutes, ll the water to
the MAX ll line.
If the Removable Cooking Pot becomes
completely dry, the Cooker will
automatically shut o. Allow to cool, then
re-start the process.

Bake
Use Auto Grill Mode;
Select Manual temperatures and times as directed (see p. 14).
Grilling is quick and simple when using
the Robotic Cooker. The temperature
can be increased as high as 428°F, which
means your meat will be seared and
grilled to a delicate char on the exterior
with a tender and avorful interior.
Follow these tips for easy grilling in the
Robotic Cooker:
Select tender cuts of meat that grill
without drying out, such as ribeye steak,
let cuts, thick chops, London broil, top
sirloin, etc. Remove excess fat, if needed,
before grilling.
Save the seasonings! Do not put
seasonings onto meat prior to grilling,
as they can dry the meat and remove
moisture. Save your seasonings until the
last minute of grilling for best results.
For a restaurant-quality nal touch, place
a pat of butter on grilled meats just
before serving.
With the versatile nature of the Robotic
Cooker, you can easily and eortless bake
in your Cooker as well as grill, steam or
slow cook! Here are some handy hints for
using your Robotic Cooking for baking:
Set the temperatures and times
manually to bake as typically done in
a conventional oven. Use ONLY the
Removable Cooking Pot when baking.
Baked foods will cook faster than normal;
watch carefully to avoid burning.
The heating element is close to the
bottom of the Removable Cooking Pot.
If baking a heavy-density food, such as
cheesecake, use lower temperatures to
ensure the bottom does not burn before
the top of the baked food is cooked.
Lightly coat the Removable Cooking
Pot with cooking spray before adding
ingredients. Do not place other baking
pans inside the Pot. Do not stack pans on
top of the Removable Cooking Pot.
