Perfect for set-it-and-forget-it recipes, this Multi-Cooker opens a bigger world of culinary possibilities, even on a Tuesday night.
FUN FACTS • It’s a myth that different tastes are detected on different regions of our tongues. As you chew, hot foods cool in your mouth increasing the taste intensity. The taste receptors on our tongues are most active when foods are between 86°-95°F. • Pressure cooking is 70% faster than traditional stovetop cooking methods. • Pressure cooking creates moist heat and raises the boiling point of liquids, so moisture stays locked into food longer. • High altitudes affect pressure cooking.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WHAT IS PRESSURE COOKING? During the pressure cooking process food is cooked in pressurized steam at an above normal boiling temperature, cooking food quicker than traditional stovetop methods. At the end of the process the pressure needs to be released and can be done so two ways: Natural pressure release- Letting the pressure inside the pot drop on its own. Short natural releases are good for starchy foods that can froth and bubble like pasta and beans.

COOKING TIPS • Always ensure the cooking pot is in place before adding ingredients to the Multi-Cooker. • When pressure cooking foods that foam, froth or bubble, such as rice, pasta and beans, fill the cooking pot halfway or less. • To thicken sauces, use SAUTÉ after pressure cooking to evaporate excess liquid. • To properly use a food thermometer for meat, place the thermometer in the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bone or fat.
