Steam Infused Cooking:
Steam Infused Cooking cooks foods fast and healthy all by the
introduction of steam during the cooking process. The Steam
Roasting technique can be applied to a variety of meats you
would traditionally roast in your oven. Some cuts of meat benefit
from searing BEFORE roasting while other cuts benefit from
searing AFTER roasting, refer to the recipes in the included
Inspiration Guide.
1 No preheating is required when searing before roasting.
2 Most meats can be seared for less than 10 minutes. You do
not want to cook the meat, simply brown the meat to add
color.
3 Add water to the bottom of the cooking pot. In general, 1 cup
of water equals 10 minutes of steam time.
4 If additional water is required during the cooking process,
cautiously lift the lid away from you and add room
temperature water. Water should NOT exceed the roasting
rack or touch the food as that will result in poaching.
Use caution when placing hot meats on roasting rack.
CAUTION: DO NOT add any liquids to the base of the
main housing of the appliance.

Hints & Tips
1 Cooking times may vary based on the selected
temperature, the current temperature of the cooking
pot and the temperature of the ingredients.
2 Always use nonstick utensils in the cooking pot. Metal
utensils may damage the non-stick coating.
3 For even browning, make sure that the food is in an
even layer on the bottom of the cooking pot or roasting
rack.
4 Cooking time and temperature can be adjusted at
any time during the cooking cycle in Slow Cook and
Oven. Press the Time/Oven Temp button and turn the
Adjustment Dial to adjust.
5 Cooked foods may not brown or crisp on top as much
as in a conventional oven. Instead foods will brown on
the bottom and crisp on the bottom and sides.
6 If you do not manually set a temperature and time, the
unit will automatically start at the preset temperature
and time.
7 Multiple modes may be required to cook recipes. To
change modes during cooking cycles, simply turn the
Function Dial to select the new desired mode. Once the
new mode is selected, begin the programming process.
8 If the cooking pot is removed during the cooking cycle
and then placed back into the unit, the cooking process
will continue as though it was not interrupted.
