Cooking
Sauté
Like using a frying pan, griddle or flat-top grill, use Sauté to simmer, reduce and thicken
liquids, stir-fry meals, and to caramelise vegetables and sear meat before or after using
other cooking methods.
Instant Tip: If you prefer, you can use the inner pot on any electric, ceramic, gas or
induction hob. The silicone-grip handles make it easy to hold onto and stir without
slipping!
