If you wish to add salt, it is recommended that you add it once the lentils are
cooked or when the multicooker bips a 1st time in automatic mode before the
timer turns on, at 3/4 of the cooking process.
Cooking tips:
• Wash your lentils thoroughly with cold water and remove any debris before
cooking. Do not add salt to the cooking water as it may harden the outer
part of the lentil.
• To have tastier result, you can still add some herbs, cloves or bouquet
garni before closing the lid. Very soft-cooked lentils can be used for soups,
casseroles, curries, vegetable mash while less-soft-cooked ones can
perfect for salad.
Important: Please make sure to have your lentils well-cooked.
Under-cooked lentils can be difficult to digest and provoke gastric
distress.
