Choosing a Cooking Mode
SLOW COOKER MODES:
1.
(MANUAL) mode functions like a standard, non-programmable slow cooker
with four heat settings:
(Warm),
(Low),
(Medium) or
(High).
The timer counts up and the appliance will stay on until the START/STOP button is
pressed, or will automatically turn off after 24 hours.
NOTE:
WARM should not be used for cooking. It can be used once cooking is
complete to keep foods warm.
2.
(MEAL TIMER) mode allows you to set the number of hours to cook based on
when you want to serve the meal, regardless of recipe instructions. No heat level
is selected. MEAL TIMER adjusts the temperature based on the serving time. This
feature is well-suited to recipes that will cook for a long period of time such as
large joints of meat, meat and vegetable combinations, or soups and stews. MEAL
TIMER automatically switches to WARM at the end of the cooking cycle.
3.
(PROGRAMME) mode has three options that allow for a customised cooking
experience. All three options automatically switch to WARM at the end of the
cooking cycle.
a.
(1 PROGRAMME) – Select one heat and time setting for the entire
cooking session.
b.
(1 PROGRAMME WITH PROBE) – Select one heat setting and use the
probe to cook food to the desired internal temperature. This setting is best
when cooking foods that may be at risk of overcooking, such as lean cuts of
meat, or whenever food temperature is the desired test for whether the food
is cooked. The appliance will automatically switch to WARM when the desired
temperature is reached.
c.
(2 PROGRAMMES) – Select two different heat settings and time
durations for one cooking session. For example, programme the appliance to
cook on HIGH for 4 hours and then LOW for 3 hours. Ideal for shortening the
cooking time of items such as casseroles to heat quickly on HIGH and then
allow to tenderise on LOW.
OTHER COOKING MODES:
4.
(RICE) mode has two settings: 1 and 2. Setting 1 is used for white rice. Setting
2 is used for brown rice. See rice cooking chart on page 18 under ‘Using Cooking
Modes’.
5.
(STEAM) mode can be used to steam food. It has a maximum cooking time of
45 minutes.
6.
(SOUS VIDE) is a cooking method in which sealed food is cooked in a precisely
temperature-controlled water bath, between 38°C and 93°C. The temperature
probe is used to control the temperature of the water. This method ensures even
and predictable results and protects against overcooking. In this mode, the foods
are seasoned and then sealed in heat-safe bags or jars. The vessel is filled with
warm water and the sealed foods are added to the water bath when the desired
temperature is reached.
