Quick Start Guide
Tip: If your base needs more time,
switch to SEAR/SAUTE and continue
to cook with the lid open until liquid
is absorbed.
Tip: When using frozen veggies, remove
1
/2 cup liquid from base for fluer rice
Tip:
Ensure pasta is covered by water or sauce.
If not, add
1
/4
cup additional water or sauce.
Tip: For thicker cuts of meat,
add 3–5 minutes to cook time.
Note that this may overcook grains.
We recommend sticking to suggested
height and weight of proteins.
NOTE: These temps and times are for
WELL DONE proteins. Keep eye on
food for desired preference.
For removing the Crisper Tray,
reference page 9.
NOTE: For tender results, add
veggies to the base.
For crispier results, add hearty veggies
(carrots, sweet potato, Brussels sprouts)
to the tray at the start of cooking and
delicate veggies (broccoli, cauliflower,
green beans) to the tray during the last
5–7 mins. of cooking.
Tip: Marinate proteins up to 6 hours
ahead of time with favorite
marinade or buy pre-marinated
meats to save time.
