• Always use plastic or wooden utensils to avoid
damaging the non-stick coating of the cooking bowl.
Never cut food in the bowl.
Liquid quantities
• Programs that cook under pressure – pressure cooking,
ingredients menu and recipes menu – always require
some liquid. See the cooking guides on pages 30-33
for advice on the quantity of liquid to use or follow the
instructions on the Cook4me display screen.
• Always use a liquid that gives off steam when boiled
e.g. water, stock, wine, beer, cider, etc. Never use oil or
fat. Do not used milk as it can froth up under pressure.
• When steaming foods in the basket always use a
minimum of 200 ml of water in the Cook4me.
Maximum Filling level
• The ingredients plus liquid must not exceed the
maximum filling level.
• Some foods such as rice and pulses (e.g. dried beans
and dried peas) swell up and tend to froth during
cooking and the bowl should not be more than half full
with these ingredients and liquid.
Foods which require special care when cooking in
Cook4me
• See the point above about cooking rice & pulses.
• Take care when cooking fruit which froths during
pressure cooking, such as stewed apple. Instead steam
some fruits, such as apple, in the steaming basket
instead.
• Never cook dumplings in the Cook4me under pressure,
as they could rise up and block the safety devices.
Cooking times
• The cooking times programmed into the Cook4me
are only a guide and can be adjusted to your personal
taste by manually adjusting the advised cooking time.
• For the programs that cook under pressure – pressure
cooking, ingredients menu and recipes menu – the
pressure cooking time will vary according to the size
of the individual pieces or thickness of the food, not
the weight.
• To prevent overcooking with delicate foods such as
vegetables, fruit and fish the suggested cooking times
may need slight adjustment for your personal taste.
• Cook4me is not a slow cooker. The “slow cook” mode
operates using a low temperature (approx 75°C) for
gentle cooking such as melting butter.
• The “simmer” mode operates using a temperature of
approximately 90°C and can be used for such things as
reducing sauces.
Cook4me Meat & Chicken Cooking Tips
• Choose meat joints of an even shape and thickness to
ensure they cook evenly. Boneless joints which are tied
into an even cylindrical shape are ideal.
• The maximum recommended weight for meat joints is
1 kg.
• The maximum recommended weight for a whole
chicken is 1.5 kg.
• Choose pieces of meat, such as chops, cubed meat for
stews, of the same size and thickness to ensure they
cook evenly.
