BOILING AND SIMMERING
SIMMER (CONT.)
USING THE BOIL AND SIMMER FUNCTIONS
2. As rice grains can be delicate, at the end of cooking wait
until the pressure releases naturally. Do not use the Quick
Pressure Release Method (see page 20 for instructions on
the Natural Pressure Release Method).
3. Standard ratio for cooking rice -- 1 cup of uncooked rice :
1.5 cups of water
CAUTION: During cooking, steam will build up in the Multi-
Cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to
protect your hand.
Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level surface. Do not use the
Lid with the BOIL function.
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. Place liquid inside the Cooking Pot prior to starting the
BOIL and SIMMER functions.
2. Select either the BOIL or SIMMER function and adjust the
temperature if necessary, using the + and - buttons.
3. Press START/STOP.
4. 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.
CAUTION: Never attempt to boil or simmer thick sauces. The
BOIL and SIMMER functions are intended for liquids only.
When boiling thick sauces, heat bubbles can form, become
trapped and burst, and can result in serious burns.
The settings BOIL and SIMMER do not cook under pressure.
They work similarly to standard cooking, requiring dry heat,
and therefore do not need the Lid.
The BOIL function is perfect for preparing meals like pasta and
poached eggs. Note: Do not use the Lid with this function.
LOW setting: This is suitable for boiling low volumes of food,
such as from the bottom of the Cooking Pot to the 1/3 mark.
HIGH setting: This is suitable for boiling higher volumes of
food, such as between the 1/3 to 1/2 marks. Do not fill
the Cooking Pot above the 1/2 mark when using the BOIL
function on HIGH temperature.
Thicken sauces and make gravies at the end of cooking using
the SIMMER function.
LOW setting: This is suitable for simmering low volumes of
food, such as between the bottom of the Cooking Pot and the
1/3 mark.
HIGH setting: This is suitable for simmering higher volumes of
food, such as between the 1/3 and 1/2 marks in the Cooking
Pot.
To thicken a dish as the end of cooking, use the SIMMER
function and stir a small amount of corn flour with water. Allow
to simmer, stirring until thickened.
