Slow Cooking
(“Slow Cook” Menu)
You can prepare the following dishes with ease.
Refer to the supplied “COOKBOOK” for directions.
With this menu, food is first brought to near boiling,
the heat is then lowered to about 199.4°F [93°C]
and the food left to simmer. The temperature is
then lowered even further to about 190.4°F [88°C]
and simmering is continued. By gradually lowering
the heating temperature in this way, flavors are
enhanced and the liquids do not boil down even
when heated for a long period of time.
Menu examples
Nikujaga (simmered meat and potatoes), stuffed
cabbage
●
For how to cook “nikujaga (simmered meat
and potatoes)” and “stuffed cabbage”, see the
supplied “COOKBOOK”.
Note
●
Caution should be exercised when making
dishes other than those described in the supplied
“COOKBOOK”, as they may boil over.
●
Stir well before cooking to prevent seasonings
from settling at the bottom of the inner pot.

Prepare the ingredients.

Add ingredients to the inner pot
and close the lid.
Note
●
Use the “Plain” scale on the inside of the inner pot
as a reference. Using more than the maximum
acceptable amount (see the table below) can
prevent proper boiling or cause the contents to
boil over. Be careful also not to use less than the
minimum required amount either, as that can also
cause the contents to boil over.
