Cooking
Deglazing
Sautéing meat and vegetables before pressure cooking is the perfect way to boost
avors, as sugars caramelize from the high heat of the Sauté Smart Program. Deglazing
the inner pot lets you unlock those avors in amazing sauces, gravies and more.
To deglaze, remove food items from the inner pot and add a thin liquid, like water, broth
or wine to the hot surface. Use a wooden or silicone scraper to list up any food stuck to
the bottom of the inner pot and stir it into the liquid.
WARNING
The Sauté Smart Program reaches high temperatures. If left unmonitored, food
may burn on this setting. DO NOT use a lid and DO NOT leave the multicooker
unattended while using Sauté.
CAUTION
The inner pot and accessories will be hot during and after cooking. Always use
appropriate hand protection when adding to or removing food from a hot inner pot
to avoid injury and/or property damage.
CAUTION
When cooking meat, always use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal
temperature reaches a safe minimum temperature. Refer to the USDA’s Safe
Minimum Internal Temperature Chart.
CAUTION
Thicker foods may prevent even heating, which can lead to spoiled food if left
unattended. When keeping warm food like stew and chili, stir the contents of the
inner pot every 40 to 60 minutes to make sure that heat is evenly distributed.
