Slow Cooking
Refer to the supplied "COOKBOOK" for directions.
With this menu, food is first brought to near boiling,
the heat is then lowered to about 93˚C and the
food left to simmer. The temperature is then
lowered even further to about 88˚C and simmering
is continued. By gradually lowering the heating
temperature in this way, flavors are enhanced and
the liquids do not boil down even when heated for a
long period of time.
Menu examples
Braised pork, gobo and yamaimo soup
● For how to cook "braised pork" and "gobo and
yamaimo soup", see the supplied "COOKBOOK".
Note
● Caution should be exercised when making
dishes other than those described in the supplied
"COOKBOOK", as they may boil over.
● Stir well before cooking to prevent seasonings
from settling at the bottom of the inner pot.
● When simmering foods in broth, cool the broth
before cooking.
● When thickening with starch, add the starch at the
end of cooking.
● Since fish-paste products like "chikuwa" tube-
shaped fish paste and "kamaboko" fish paste
cake will swell when heated, the amount being
used should be adjusted with that in mind.

Prepare the ingredients.
2
Add ingredients to the inner pot
and close the lid.
Note
● Use the "Plain" scale on the inside of the inner pot
as a reference. Using more than the maximum
acceptable amount (see the table below) can
prevent proper boiling or cause the contents to
boil over. Be careful also not to use less than the
minimum required amount either, as that can also
cause the contents to boil over.
