To select the Sealing function, press the Function button fl
once. The Rapid Cook will beep once, and the display will
show 0:15 minutes on the timer, and the Browning indicator
Ê will be illuminated.
The Rapid Cook will then start to heat up and the timer Â
will begin to countdown. The oil will take approximately 5
minutes to reach the correct temperature for sealing /
browning meat (i.e. when the timer reads 0:10.)
A good way to test if the oil is hot enough is to add a small
piece of meat or onion to the pan. If it sizzles when it hits the
oil, the temperature is sufficient to seal / brown. If it does
not sizzle, let the pan heat up for another minute or so and
then test it again.
Add the meat to pan and stir regularly until the outside of the
meat is sealed / browned. When the timer reaches zero, the
Rapid Cook will beep five times and the cooking process will
stop. If your meat is sealed before the timer reaches zero,
press the Keep Warm / Cancel button once. The Rapid Cook
will beep once, and the cooking process will stop. The
screen will return to the default display B.
If your meat needs a few extra minutes sealing after the
timer has reached zero, simply press the Function button fl
once to start the Sealing / Browning function again. As
explained above, to cancel the sealing function before the
timer reaches zero, press the Keep Warm / Cancel button ·
once.
Please note:
Do not start the ‘Sealing / Browning’ function without the
pan ¤ in the Base unit › as this will make the product
overheat. You should not start the ‘Sealing / Browning’
function without adding your oil to the pan.
Normal Cooking Function
• Add the ingredients into the cooking pot when it is in place
in the base unit. Be careful not to spill any liquid into the
base unit. If it happens switch off, remove plug from the
mains and clean fullly.
Except when cooking rice, never load the Rapid Cook above
maximum ingredient level line marked “2/3 MAX PC” on
cooking pot. Foods that expand while cooking (i.e. legumes,
peas etc) should never go above the 3/5 mark.
Then place the lid onto the top of the Rapid Cook, so the
Morphy Richards logo is pointing to the left of the display
panel on the front of the cooker.
Then turn the lid using the handle, gently clockwise C, so
the logo is aligned with the front control panel.
Ensure that the pressure release valve Ì on top on the lid
⁄ is positioned to ‘SEAL’ D.
Whether you have used the ‘Seal / Brown’ function or just
turned the Rapid Cook on, the display screen should show
the default setting B.
Press the Function button fl the appropriate number of
times to select the desired cooking time.
Press twice: 1-10 mins
Press 3 times: 11-20 mins
Press 4 times: 21-40 mins
Press 5 times: 41-90 mins
For each range, the Rapid Cook will select the lowest value
(e.g. 11 minutes in the 11-20 mins range)
To select a longer value within the selected range, press the
Time / Delay button ‡ to increase the cooking time within
the selected range. For example, to select a 27 minute
cooking time after selecting the 21-40 mins range (as
instructed above), press the Time button ‡ six times, until
0:27 displays on the timer. The Rapid Cook will then start to
heat up and the cooking process will begin. Once pressure
has been achieved, pressure will automatically be
maintained. Cooking time begins at this point, and the time
will begin counting down in the display.
After selecting the desired cooking function, you can add
cooking time by pressing the Time button until total cooking
time is displayed. You can set total cooking time from 5
minutes up to 120 minutes for Rice, Meat, Vegetables, Soup
and Stew.
After selecting the desired cooking function, you can delay
the start time for up to 2 hours by pressing the Time / Delay
button ‡ until total delay time is displayed. Countdown will
begin once the colon ( : ) starts flashing.
When pressure cooking is complete, the Rapid Cook will
automatically switch to Keep Warm. The Warm indicator
light ‰ will illuminate. To manually switch to Keep Warm
and / or cancel any cooking process, press the Keep Warm /
Cancel Button ·. After pressure cooking is complete,
pressure can be released manually or on its own. If a recipe
states “let pressure drop on its own”, press the Standby
button ‚ and unplug the cooker. When recipe states
“reduce pressure at once” or “reduce pressure manually”
put on oven gloves and move the Pressure Release Device
Ì to the ‘VENT’ position to release steam and reduce
pressure E.
During the heat cycle, steam will escape from the vent. This
is normal, and self controlling.
WARNING: you must keep your face well away from the
valve when releasing excess pressure, and only do this
when you are wearing protective oven gloves. It is not
recommended to release steam manually with recipes
containing lots of liquid, such as soups and stews.
Pressure is completely reduced when the Steam Release
Dial is in the ‘VENT’ position
E, and you no longer hear
steam escaping from the valve, and the lid opens freely with
no force. Only then is it safe to remove the Rapid Cook lid
and serve the food. Remove lid by grasping the handle and
twisting the lid anti-clockwise. As a safety feature, the lid will
not open unless all pressure is reduced. DO NOT force the
lid open if it does not open freely, this means the unit is still
under pressure.
Using the steaming tray
• If using the trivet and tray Ú to steam vegetables, use the
appropriate amount of water. The tray needs to stand on the
trivet to keep the vegetables above the base and out of the
boiling water.
