Cooking Tips for
BROWN/SAUTE Mode
Browning
It is necessary to brown or sear meat in many recipes. Meat retains its
juices and the flavors develop after browning. Preheat the Cooker to
SEAR and brown meat on all sides, with the lid off. Continue to cook as
directed in recipe.
Shallow Frying
To shallow fry vegetables and potatoes, first preheat Cooker to 350° F
with enough oil so that the food is half immersed. Cook food with the lid
off.
WARNING! Do not use this Cooker for deep frying; hot oils could
overflow causing serious burns and injury.
Sauteing
For Sauteing, preheat to 350° F with enough oil to coat the bottom of
the Pot.
Stir Frying
When stir frying, for best results and even cooking, cut food into even-
sized, smaller pieces. Preheat the Cooker to SEAR (400° F) with a little
oil. Slice meat into strips. Stir-fry meat in batches until browned. Add
vegetables and seasoning, stirring continuously. Vegetables which take
longer to cook, such as carrots, should be cooked first, adding the other
ingredients later. Cook until the vegetables are still slightly crisp. Return
the meat back into the pan when the vegetables are almost cooked.
