Slow Cook Settings
The Risotto Plus has two slow cook settings:
™
Low and High. Use the recommended guidelines
below to determine cooking time and heat settings.
A general rule of thumb for most slow cooked
meat and vegetable recipes is:
Setting Cooking Time
LOW: 6–7 hours
HIGH: 3–4 hour

STEAMING

Foods may be steamed by placing food in the
stainless steel steaming tray over stock or water
and covering with the glass lid. Keep the glass
lid on while steaming food unless the recipe or
chart specifically states to remove the lid. By
removing the lid unnecessarily steam is lost and
the cooking time will be extended.
NOTE
Hot liquid can be added during the
steaming process.

of meat such as lamb shanks will have best
results when cooked on low for 6–7 hours.
