V. COOKING TIPS
Common Cooking Mistakes and Ways of Solving Them
This table familiarizes you with the practical tips and solutions to some common
problems you may experience when using the multicooker.
THE DISH IS UNDERCOOKED
Possible causes Solutions
The lid of the device was open or was
not closed properly, so the cooking
temperature was not high enough
Try to avoid opening the lid while cooking.
Close the lid until it clicks into place. Make
sure that the rubber sealing ring located on
the inner side of the lid is not deformed or
damaged in any way
Cooking temperature was not ob-
served because the bowl and the
heating element did not fit tightly
There should not be any foreign objects be-
tween the lid and the housing of the device,
remove if any.
Always make sure that the heating element is
clean and fits tightly with the bowl before
cooking
Wrong ingredients or settings were
chosen.
General proportions were not ob-
served, the foods were cut into pieces
that are a bit too big.
Wrong time settings.
Chosen recipe is not appropriate for
the appliance
We recommend that you use recipes adapted
for the device. Choose proven recipes only.
Set the time and cooking programme, choose
ingredients, proportions, and the size of
pieces according to the recipe
Steaming: the amount of water in the
bowl is not enough to provide enough
steam density
Use the amount of water recommended. If in
doubt, check the water level while steaming
Frying
Too much vegetable
oil was added
For regular frying add an amount of vegetable
oil just enough to cover the bottom of the
bowl.
Follow recommendations given in the recipe
while deep frying
Too much liquid in -
side the bowl
Do not close the lid of the device while frying
unless specified in the recipe. Defrost and let
drain the ingredients before frying
Boilng: the broth boiled away while
cooking acidic foods
Certain foods need to be washed or sautéed
before cooking. Follow recommendations
given in the recipe
Possible causes Solutions
Baking (dough
failed to bake
through)
While proving the
dough has reached
the inner lid and
covered the steam
valve
Use a smaller amount of dough
Too much dough in
the bowl
Take the product out of the bowl, turn it over
and place back. Bake until ready,
Next time use smaller amount of dough
THE DISH IS OVERCOOKED
Wrong ingredients or time
settings, the foods were
cut into pieces that are a
bit too small
We recommend that you use the recipes adapted for your
model.
Set the time and cooking programme, choose ingredients,
proportions and the size of the pieces according to the
recipe
The dish was in the bowl
on the Keep Warm func-
tion for too long after
being cooked
We recommend that you use the Keep Warm function mode
moderately. If your device enables you to switch “Keep Warm”
off in advance, use it to avoid the problem
LIQUID BOILS AWAY DURING COOKING
Milk boils away
Depending on both quality and properties of the milk used, it
may boil away. To avoid this, we recommend that you use only
ultra-pasteurized skimmed milk. Mix the milk with some
water if needed
Foods were not prop-
erly processed (were
not rinsed well, etc.).
Wrong general propor-
tions or ingredients
We recommend that you use the recipes adapted for the device.
Try choosing proven recipes only. Set the time and cooking pro-
gramme, choose ingredients, proportions, and the size of the
pieces according to the recipe.
Whole grains, meat, fish, and seafood need to be thoroughly
rinsed before cooking
THE DISH IS BURNT
The bowl was not properly washed
before cooking.
Non-stick coating is damaged
Before cooking ensure that the bowl is clean and
has no coating defects
General amount of ingredients is
smaller than recommended
Use proven recipes adapted for the device
Cooking time was too long
Reduce the cooking time or follow recommenda-
tions given in the recipe adapted for your model
Frying: oil was not added; the in-
gredients have not been stirred or
turned over
For regular frying add an amount of vegetable oil just
enough to cover the bottom of the bowl.
For proper frying stir or turn the ingredients
occasionally in the bowl while cooking
Stewing: not enough liquid
Add more liquid. Avoid opening the lid while
cooking
Boiling: not enough liquid in the
bowl (proportions were not ob-
served)
Follow recommended amounts of liquids and
solids while cooking
Baking: the bowl was not greased
before baking
Grease the bottom and sides of the bowl with
butter or vegetable oil before baking (do not pour
oil inside)
INGREDIENTS LOOSE THEIR SHAPE WHEN COOKED
The ingredients have been
stirred a bit too often
While frying foods, it is enough to stir the ingredients
every 5-7 minutes
Cooking time was too long Reduce cooking time or follow recommendations given
in the recipe adapted for the device
PASTRY IS DAMP
Improper ingredients were used
(juicy fruit or vegetables, frozen
berries, sour cream, etc.)
Use ingredients according to the recipe. Avoid
using ingredients that contain excess moisture or
use them in smaller amounts
The baked product has been left in
the multicooker with the closed lid
for too long
We recommend that you take the baked product
out of the bowl right after the baking cycle is over
or leave it on “Keep Warm” mode for a short pe-
riod of time only
PASTRY WON’T RISE
Eggs and sugar were not whisked well
Use proven recipes adapted
for the device. Choose, meas-
ure and process the ingredi-
ents according to the recom-
mendations given in the
recipe
The dough sat for too long before being baked
The flour wasn’t sifted or the dough was not kneaded
well
Wrong ingredients
Wrong recipe
Certain REDMOND multicookers feature overheat protection in the “STEW” and
“SOUP” programmemes. In case there is not enough liquid in the bowl, the
appliance activates overheat protection, automatically interrupts the program-
meme, and switches to the Keep Warm.
