    PRESSURE COOKING Pressure cooking is an ideal way to create quick, flavorful meals. Pressure cooking is a method of cooking food in liquid (water, stock, wine, etc.) in a sealed Cooking Pot. The sealed Multi-Cooker retains steam and builds pressure, raising the temperature of the liquid inside the pot above boiling point.

  • Page 38 HINTS AND TIPS FOR SLOW COOKING • If you are slow cooking, you can use the BROWN/SAUTÉ function first, which allows you to sear meats and vegetables at the beginning but also allows you to thicken sauces and make gravies at the end. Browning meat prior to slow cooking not only gives your food great color, but it also seals in the juices and flavors and keeps the meat tender.
  • Page 39 HINTS AND TIPS FOR SLOW COOKING (CONT.) • It is not uncommon for meat to cook faster than root vegetables. It is for this reason that we recommend chopping all vegetables to a similar small size. Meat can be cut into larger chunks because if it is cut too small, it will break up once cooked and tenderized.
