Using Non-Pressure Cooking Smart Programmes
Smart Programme: Steam and Slow Cook
The Steam Smart Programme functions as a traditional steamer, boiling liquid in
the inner pot to cook food with hot steam.
When using the Steam Smart Programme, place the steam rack on the bottom
of the inner pot to ensure your food items are steamed and not boiled.
The Slow Cook Smart Programme is comparable to the cooking process of
traditional slow cookers. The cooker maintains a temperature just below boiling
until cooking has completed.
Low
– All-day cooking. Set for a minimum of
6
hours for best results.
High
– Faster slow cooking.
