This setting does not cook under pressure. It works similarly
to standard cooking, requiring dry heat, and therefore does
not need the Lid. Do not use the Lid with this function.
Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Multi-
Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-Cooker will beep, and
the Display Screen will illuminate with four dashes
(- - - -).
1. Select the BROWN/SAUTÉ function and adjust the time
and temperature if necessary, using the + and - buttons.
2. Press START/STOP.
3. When the Multi-Cooker is pre-heating, “HEAt” will
appear on the Display Screen. When the temperature
has been reached, the timer will start counting down.
Using plastic tongs, carefully add your food to the hot
pot.
BROWN/SAUTÉ can be used for each of the following:
A. Brown (sear) meats for casseroles and soups. Browning
meat prior to pressure cooking and slow cooking not
only gives your food great color, but it also seals in the
juices and flavors and keeps the meat tender.
B. Sauté onions or mirepoix (mixture of chopped onion,
carrot, and celery), among many other foods, often used
in pressure cooker and slow cooker recipes. Sautéing
onions allows caramelization which contributes to flavor
and color in the end dish.
Capacity: When the Multi-Cooker is used to brown or sauté
it may be best to cook in batches to ensure the food is
evenly cooked.
USING THE BROWN/SAUTÉ FUNCTION
When cooking rice, use the RICE/RISOTTO function. This
is suitable for all types of rice, including white and/or brown
rice.
The RICE/RISOTTO function cooks under pressure for faster
cooking.
Capacity: Since rice expands during cooking, do not fill
Cooking Pot above the 1/2 mark when using the RICE/
RISOTTO function.
RICE COOKING
Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Multi-Cooker
into a wall outlet. The Multi-Cooker will beep, and the Display
Screen will illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
1. Measure the desired quantity of rice.
Note: 1 cup uncooked white rice = 2 cups of cooked white
rice (approximately). 1 cup uncooked brown rice = 2 cups
cooked brown rice (approximately).
2. Place the measured rice in a strainer and wash rice
thoroughly under cold water. Wash until the water runs
clear. This removes excess starch which helps to achieve
fluffier rice, and prevents rice grains sticking to the Cooking
Pot. Rinsing the rice reduces the build-up of starchy water
and bubbles that sometimes form around the Valve Cover
and Lid, which can cause spitting from the Steam Release
Valve.
3. Ensure the Cooking Pot is clean and dry before placing it
inside the Heating Base.
4. Place the washed rice in the Cooking Pot. Add the quantity
of water needed for your recipe (Standard ratio -- 1 cup of
uncooked rice : 1.5 cups of water). Ensure that a minimum
of 8oz of liquid is placed inside the removable Cooking Pot.
