The settings BROWN/SEAR and SAUTÉ do not cook under
pressure. They work similarly to standard cooking, requiring dry
heat, and therefore does not need the Lid. Place the Multi-
Cooker on a flat, level surface.
Do not use the Lid with this function.
The BROWN/SEAR function is designed to 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.
The SAUTÉ function is designed to sauté onions and 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 the flavor and color in the end dish.
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/SEAR or 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.
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.
