• 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 connect 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 connect.
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
connect
• 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 connect connect
under pressure, as they could rise up and block the safety
devices.
Cooking times
• The cooking times programmed into the Cook4me connect
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 connect is not a slow cooker. The “gentle
cooking” 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 connect 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.
