CHOOSING A COOKING MODE
Slow Cooker Modes:
MANUAL mode functions like a standard, nonprogrammable slow cooker with
1.
four heat settings: WARM, LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH. The timer counts up and the
multi-function cooker will stay on until the START/STOP button is pressed, or will
automatically turn off after 24 hours.
NOTE: WARM should not be used for cooking. It can be used once cooking is
complete to keep foods warm.
MEAL TIMER mode allows you to set the number of hours to cook based on
2.
when you want to serve the meal, regardless of recipe instructions. No heat level
is selected. MEAL TIMER adjusts the temperature based on the serve time. This
feature is well-suited to recipes that will cook for a long period of time such as
large meats, meat and vegetable combinations, or soups and stews. MEAL TIMER
automatically switches to WARM at the end of the cook cycle.
PROGRAM mode has three options that allow for a customized cooking
3.
experience. All three options automatically switch to WARM at the end of the cook
cycle.
a. 1 PROGRAM – Select one heat and time setting for the entire cooking session.
b. 1 PROGRAM WITH PROBE – Select one heat setting and use the probe
to cook food to the desired internal temperature. This setting is best when
cooking foods that may be at risk for overcooking, such as lean cuts of meat,
or any time food temperature is the desired test for doneness. The cooker will
automatically switch to WARM when the desired temperature is reached.
c. 2 PROGRAMS – Select two different heat settings and time durations in one
cooking session. For example, program to cook on HIGH for 4 hours, then
LOW for 3 hours. Ideal for shortening the cooking time of items such as pot
roasts to heat quickly on HIGH and then allow to tenderize on LOW.
Other Cooking Modes:
RICE mode has two settings: 1 and 2. Setting 1 is used for white rice. Setting 2 is used for
4.
brown rice. See rice cooking chart on page 18 under "Using Cooking Modes."
SAUTE/SEAR mode has three heat settings: LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH. Use this mode to
5.
saute before slow cooking, to sear after Sous Vide, or for recipes that require saute or sear
as the only cooking mode. It has a maximum cook time of 45 minutes, including preheat.
SOUS VIDE is a cooking method in which sealed food is cooked in a precisely
6.
temperature-controlled water bath, at a setting between 100°F (38°C) and 200°F (93°C).
The temperature probe is used to control the temperature of the water. This method
ensures even and predictable results and protects against overcooking. In this mode,
the foods are seasoned and then sealed in heat-safe bags or jars. The vessel is filled
with warm water and the sealed foods are added to the water bath when the desired
temperature is reached.
