BELLA TIPS TO SHALLOW FRY IN YOUR MULTICOOKER
1. Avoid oil splatter. Make sure food is dry before frying.
2. Coat food with flour, breadcrumbs, or crushed nuts for best results.
3. For crispier results, allow breaded foods to rest on a wire rack at room temperature for 20–30 minutes before
frying so the coating can set and dry.
4. When frying breaded cheese or certain breaded foods, refrigerate before frying.
5. Never crowd the cooking pot. Overcrowding lowers the oil temperature, causing food to steam instead of fry.
6. Food is ready to turn when the bubbles around it dissipate.
7. Use tongs or a spatula to turn fried food. Continue frying until cooked to your satisfaction.
8. Always use an instant-read thermometer to check the food’s internal temperature. See USDA Guidelines in this
Instruction Manual.
9. Drain fried food on paper towels immediately after removing it from the oil.
SLOW COOK
NOTE: The slow cook time can be adjusted from 30 minutes to 12 hours. The slow cook
Temperature can be adjusted from low to hi.
NOTE: Slow Cook is a long, low-temperature cooking method that allows flavors to develop and is ideal for stews,
chili, beans, soups, sauces, or tougher cuts of meat. Using your favorite Slow Cook recipes, cook on the lo or hi setting.
Check the food periodically for the desired doneness.
1. Add your desired ingredients to the cooking pot according to your recipe.
2. Press the slow cook button.
3. Adjust the time and temperature as needed by pressing the time/temp button, then press + or - to increase or

BELLA TIPS TO COOK RICE IN YOUR MULTICOOKER
1. When cooking wild rice, add 25% to 50% more water to ensure it cooks thoroughly. Follow the package
instructions.
2. If the rice is dry or hard/chewy when the Multicooker switches to keep warm, add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir.
The additional water and cooking time will soften the rice.
3. When the Multicooker switches to keep warm, open the lid and stir the rice to check consistency. If the rice is
soggy, close the lid and continue on keep warm for 10 to 30 minutes as needed, stirring periodically to release
excess moisture.
4. When a recipe calls for salt, use kosher salt. It has no impurities or additives and dissolves easily. Increase the
quantity to 1½ times that of table salt.
5. Stocks, broths, or bouillon can be used in place of water to add flavor and improve texture when cooking rice.
6. Do not leave cooked rice in the Multicooker on keep warm for more than 2 hours.
KEEP WARM (BUFFET SERVICE)
