During the first use of the Multi-Crock, if the display is blinking, unplug the power and then plug
it back in.
Keep the Multi-Crock surface and Multi-Crock Housing inside clean and on a flat surface to
maintain normal operating conditions.
Please do not disassemble the Multi-Crock, as this will invalidate the warranty.
During cooking, you may stop the cooking mode at any time by pressing the “MENU/CANCEL”
key. It will then revert to the Waiting Mode with display “0.0”.
If there is a power outage during cooking, you may have to start the cooking cycle again.
Do open the lid during cooking
to check the cooking progress. Unlike other pots, opening
the lid does not affect the cooking time! Go ahead, use a thermometer to check doneness, add
in vegetables that need just a brief amount of time to cook, or stir and check your seasoning.
Note: All recipes in this booklet are based on U.S. measurements (standard U.S. measuring
cups and spoons). The plastic cup included with the Multi-Crock is not U.S. measurement, if
using adjust accordingly.
How to Choose a Cooking Mode
This cooker operates similar to a chef using the stovetop. It brings the pot to a boil four times
faster than a conventional Crock-Pot/slow cooker; then it automatically adjusts the heat to
gradually
bring your meal to a slow simmer. This method creates a better texture and
preserves nutrients unlike food soaked in water for long hours or on a long boil where the food
becomes soggy. There are 4 cooking modes + a keep warm mode:
•
When to choose the
Steam/Fast cooking mode
o
Ideal for items that cook from 30 minutes to 1-1/2 hours (90 minutes). A one pot
pasta meal, half or full pot of vegetable stew, all chicken dishes, or oatmeal.
o
Steam fish or vegetables (even root vegetables such as yams, beets or
potatoes), one pot beef and pepper stew or an eggplant and chicken curry.
•
When to choose the
Slow cooking mode
o
If you want to cook a “slow food-style” meal such as hearty stew, savory chili,
beans and lentils, healing soup or broth then chose the slow cooking mode. You
get all of the benefits of the “slow” cooked meal in a fraction of the time.
o
A perfect setting for larger cuts of meat like pork shoulder, a whole chicken or a
turkey breast.
•
When to choose the
Porridge mode
o
If you love a warming and satisfying rice porridge such as Jook or Congee, or
slow cooked grains (For oatmeal use the Steam/Fast mode, see details below).
•
The Yogurt mode
is great for healthy, home-made quality yogurt.
