Inside the removable Cooking Pot are
markings to guide the fill level of the Cooking
Pot. The word MAX indicates the maximum
fill line.
The 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 markings are handy
guides to use in your recipes.
Foods that expand
during cooking (e.g.
rice) should never go
above the 1/2 mark.
Pressure cooking is an ideal way to create
quick, flavorful meals. Pressure cooking is
a method of cooking food in liquid (water,
stock, wine, etc.) in a sealed Cooking Pot. The
sealed Multi-Cooker retains steam and builds
pressure, raising the temperature of the
liquid inside the pot above boiling point. The
increased temperature of the liquid and the
steam results in reduced cooking times.
HIGH Pressure Setting is 6.5 - 10 PSI (45 - 70
kPa). It is suitable for a wide range of foods.
LOW Pressure Setting is 3.3 - 6.5 PSI (23 - 45
kPa). It is more suited to delicate foods like
chicken fillet, fish and some vegetables.
KEEP WARM Setting: When cooking time is
completed, the Multi-Cooker automatically
switches to the KEEP WARM setting to
prevent overcooking and to keep your cooked
food warm until serving - perfect for busy
families, those on the run and those who
need flexible meal times. This setting is not
hot enough to cook and should only be used
to keep warm, cooked food for serving.
Ideal Meals to Pressure Cook: Soups, stocks,
casseroles, sauces (e.g. pasta sauces), meat,
rice, firm vegetables (beetroot, potatoes) and
desserts (e.g., pudding).
Capacity: Never fill the Cooking Pot above the
MAX line. Foods that expand during cooking
should never go above the 1/2 mark. The
Multi-Cooker cannot pressure cook without
liquid. Ensure a minimum of 250ml of liquid is
used inside the removable Cooking Pot.
Cooking Pot Markings
Pressure Cooking
Note:
The Multi-Cooker cannot pressure
cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of
250ml of liquid is used inside the removable
Cooking Pot.
Note:
There are 8 functions which use
pressure to cook. These are Meat/Stew,
Beans/Chili, Rice/Risotto, Poultry, Dessert,
Multigrain, Pressure Cook and Steam.
CAUTION:
Never load the Cooking Pot above
the maximum ingredient level line marked
MAX on the inside of the Cooking Pot.
IMPORTANT:
Do not cook more than 4
cups of dried beans/legumes with 8 cups of
water. Cooking with more beans or water
than this may result in the build up of excess
pressure. Wait at least 10 minutes after
cooking before releasing the pressure valve.
