Sauté is a medium temperature and is
suitable to sauté onions, and mire poix
(mixture of chopped onion, carrot, celery)
often used in pressure cooker and slow
cooker recipes. Sautéing onions allows
caramelisation which contributes to flavour
and colour in the end dish.
Simmer is a lower temperature, around
boiling point. Use it to gently simmer sauces.
Capacity. When the unit is used to Brown,
Sauté or Simmer it may be best to cook in
batches to ensure the food is evenly cooked.
