Meat (Poultry, Beef, Pork and Lamb) 
There are a few things to be aware of when cooking meat. 
  Raw meat is perishable food, which should not be left at room temperature for 
more than 2 hours (or 1 hour if room temperature is above 32C/90F).  When use delayed 
cooking, do not set delayed cooking more than 1 ~ 2 hours. We recommend to cook 
the meat first and use the automatic Keep-warm function to maintain the food at serv-
ing temperature. 
  Do not try to thicken the sauce before cooking. Corn starch, flour or arrow-root 
may deposit to the bottom of the inner pot and be burnt to block heat dissipation. This 
could cause the cooker overheating. 
You may want to brown the meat to seal the juices before starting pressure cooking.
