WARNING
The Sauté Smart Programme 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.
Deglazing
Sautéing meat and vegetables before pressure cooking is the perfect way to boost
avours, as sugars caramelise from the high heat of the Sauté Smart Programme.
Deglazing the inner pot lets you unlock those avours 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 lift up any food stuck to
the bottom of the inner pot and stir it into the liquid.
