Smart Program – Sauté

2. Press Sauté.
3.
Note: Cooking temperature adjustments will be saved to the Smart Program when
cooking begins.
The Sauté Smart Program will begin automatically after 10 seconds and
the Display will read "On" to indicate that heating is in progress.
When the cooker has reached the target cooking temperature, the
Display will read "Hot" to indicate that food may be added to the inner pot.
Note: The Display may alternate between "On" and "Hot" during cooking to
indicate that the cooker is maintaining the target cooking temperature.
The Display will read "End" when the Smart Program is complete.
To end the Smart Program at any time, press Cancel. You cannot use
the Keep Warm function with Sauté.
When using Sauté mode with pressure cooking, always ensure you
deglaze the pot after you are finished sautéing and before you
pressure cook as food can get stuck on the bottom of the inner pot.
Deglazing involves adding a thin liquid like water or broth to the hot
surface and scraping the bottom with a silicone scraper or wooden
spatula to remove anything that may be stuck to the bottom.
Deglazing also adds flavor to your dish and can prevent getting a
"burn" notice.
WARNING
Press Sauté again to adjust the cooking temperature.
