Tips
• Always ensure the cooking pot is in place before adding ingredients to the Multi Cooker.
• When using the lid, always make sure that the gasket is fully secured and the pressure
regulator knob is in place.
• When pressure cooking, always fill the Multi Cooker with at least
1/2
cup of water.
• When pressure cooking for more than 30 minutes, use at least 1 cup of water.
• Never fill the cooking pot more than
2/3
.
• When pressure cooking foods that foam up a lot, like rice, pasta and beans, only fill the
cooking pot halfway.
• Periodically empty the condensation cup located on the back of the Multi Cooker.
• Cut food into equal sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
• Cut tough pieces of meat into smaller pieces for the quickest cooking results.
• When making white rice, the rice to water ratio is typically 1 cup rice to 1 cup water.
• When making brown rice and other grains, the grains to water ratio is typically 1 cup rice
to 1
½
cup water.
• When making beans, add the beans to the cooking pot first and then fill with water halfway.
• Dried beans take longer to cook than soaked beans.
• When steaming, place food directly on the rack. Add 1 cup of water or stock with or without
spices and aromatics like lemon and garlic. For optimal results, liquid should not touch food.
Allow rack to cool before removing from cooking pot, or use tongs.
• As the Multi Cookers comes to pressure, steam will emit from the pressure regulator knob. It
is also normal for it to hiss and wobble.
• Use natural pressure release for foods that benefit from added cooking time such as soups,
chilis and tough cuts of meat.
• Use quick pressure release for foods that can overcook easily such as rice and vegetables.
