TIME ADJUSTMENTS
FOR HIGH ALTITUDE
The Magic Chef Multicooker uses
pressure to cook, which adds
pressure to the current atmospheric
pressure� Since different altitudes
have different pressures, places with
higher altitudes will have to increase
the cooking time� The chart to the
right can be used as a guideline to
adjust for the different altitudes�
Feet above Sea Level Percentage of Time to Increase By
2,000 feet 5%
3,000 feet 10%
4,000 feet 15%
5,000 feet 20%
6,000 feet 25%
7,000 feet 30%
8,000 feet 35%
9,000 feet 40%
10,000 feet 45%
COOK TIME GUIDELINES
Knowing how long to cook food, how much liquid to add, what steam release method to use, etc� can be
confusing at first� These cooking guidelines are just a reference but they can help you get used to your
multicooker� If you are using a recipe, follow the instructions for their recommended cooking time, as different
ingredients in the recipe may affect the cooking time� Also, regardless of what you are cooking, there has to be
some sort of liquid in the multicooker� If you are cooking food that is frozen, allow excess time to cook�
RICE, MULTIGRAIN, & PORRIDGE
You should use the natural release option for the rice, multigrain, and porridge functions so foam doesn’t get
into the valve� Also, NEVER fill the multicooker up more than halfway when cooking rice, grains, or other food
that expands in size� To prevent the froth that these foods create, add a little cooking oil, butter, or fat (1-2
tablespoons) to help keep the starch down so it doesn’t foam� Some rice and grains require you to rinse them
before cooking so make sure to look at the directions before cooking�
The rice program is fully automated for cooking rice� The cook time will range between 14 and 18 minutes because
it automatically adjusts the time depending on how much you are cooking� Only the pressure keeping time will
be shown once the pressure is reached� The total cooking time will not be shown, so you have to factor in the
preheat time and steam release time�
The multigrain function is used for cooking various grains and is best for harder grains� The porridge function is
used for making grains, cereal, or legume boiled in water, broth, or milk� Oatmeal and congee are a couple types
of porridge you can make using this function�
