HOW TO USE SAUTÉING FUNCTION
This setting allows high temperature cooking, without a lid, before pressure cooking.
Before pressure cooking, most dishes will benefit from roasting, as they will acquire
a golden color and a richer and juicier taste. If you want to roast meat or vegetables
before pressure cooking:
1. Remove the lid (2) from the appliance.
2. Add oil or butter according to the recipe.
