This setting does not cook under pressure. It
works similarly to standard cooking, requiring
dry heat, and therefore does not need the Lid.
Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level
surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug
the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-
Cooker will beep, and the Display Screen will
illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
• Select the BROWN/SAUTÉ function
and adjust the time and temperature if
necessary, using the + and - buttons.
• Press START/STOP.
• When the Multi-Cooker is pre-heating,
“HEAt” will appear on the Display Screen.
When the temperature has been reached,
the timer will start counting down. Using
plastic tongs, carefully add your food to the
hot pot.
BROWN/SAUTÉ can be used for each of the
following:
A. Brown (sear) meats for casseroles and
soups. Browning meat prior to pressure
cooking and slow cooking not only gives
your food great color, but it also seals in
the juices and flavors and keeps the meat
tender.
B. Sauté onions or mirepoix (mixture of
chopped onion, carrot, and celery), among
many other foods, often used in pressure
cooker and slow cooker recipes. Sautéing
onions allows caramelization which
contributes to flavor and color in the end
dish.
Capacity:
When the Multi-Cooker is used to brown or
sauté it may be best to cook in batches to
ensure the food is evenly cooked.
When cooking rice, use the RICE/RISOTTO
function. This is suitable for all types of rice,
including white and/or brown rice.
The RICE/RISOTTO function cooks under
pressure for faster cooking.
Capacity:
Since rice expands during cooking, do not fill
Cooking Pot above the 1/2 mark when using
the RICE/RISOTTO function.
Using the BROWN/SAUTÉ Function
Rice Cooking
Important:
Do not use the Lid with this
function.
