Brown/Sear & Sauté; Rice/Grains - Crock-Pot CPE300 User Manual

Using the BROWN/SEAR and SAUTÉ Functions
The settings BROWN/SEAR and SAUTÉ do not
cook under pressure. They works similarly
to standard cooking, requiring dry heat, and
therefore do not need the Lid.
Important: Do not use the Standard Lid
with these functions.
Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level
surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug
the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-
Cooker will beep, and the Display Screen will
illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
• Select the BROWN/SEAR or SAUTÉ
function and adjust the time and
temperature if necessary, using the + and -
buttons.
• Press START/STOP.
• When the Multi-Cooker is pre-heating,
"HEAt" will appear on the Display Screen.
When the temperature has been reached,
the timer will start counting down. Using
plastic tongs, carefully add your food to the
hot pot.
Rice Cooking
When cooking rice, use the RICE/GRAINS
function. This is suitable for all types of rice,
including white and/or brown rice.
The RICE/GRAINS function cooks under
pressure for faster cooking.

BROWN/SEAR
Designed to brown (sear) meat for casseroles
and soups. Browning meat prior to pressure
cooking and slow cooking not only gives your
food great colour, but also seals in the juices
and flavours and keeps the meat tender.
SAUTE
Sauté onions or mirepoix (mix of chopped
onion, carrot and celery), amongst many
other foods, often in pressure cooking and
slow cooking recipes. Sautéing foods allows
caramalisation which contributes to flavour
and colour in the end dish.
Capacity:
When the Multi-Cooker is used to brown or
sauté it may be best to cook in batches to
ensure the food is evenly cooked.
Capacity:
Since rice expands during cooking, do not fill
Cooking Pot above the 1/2 mark when using
the RICE/GRAINS function.
