OPERATING YOUR MULTI CHEF RC 4010

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before  rst use, remove all packaging material and promotional labels and wash the non-stick
removable cooking bowl, stainless steel steaming tray and glass lid in hot soapy water, rinse
and dry thoroughly.

HOW TO MAKE RISOTTO

SAUTÉ|SEAR setting

1. Ensure exterior of the removable cooking
bowl is clean before placing it in the
housing (this will ensure proper contact
with the inner cooking surface).

2. Plug power cord into a230V or 240V
power outlet. The START|CANCEL button
and RISOTTO button surround will
illuminate in white.

3. Press the SAUTÉ|SEAR button, the button
surround will illuminate in white.

Press the START|CANCEL button to

activate the setting, the button surround
will illuminate red.

4. Cover with lid and allow to pre-heat
for approximately 2-3 minutes (do not
preheat for longer than 5 minutes).

5. Add oil/butter and allow to heat/melt for
approximately 1 minute.

6. If using chicken or seafood in the recipe,
sear in small batches, cover with lid and
stir occasionally until food is cooked.

Remove from cooking bowl.

7. Add extra oil/butter to cooking bowl if
necessary or if recipe states. Allow to heat
for approximately 1 minute.

8. Add ingredients such as onions and
garlic. Sauté, cover with lid if necessary
and stir occasionally for about 4 to
5 minutes or until cooked to desired
brownness.

9. Stir in Arborio or carnaroli rice and
mix well. Sauté for approximately 2-3
minutes, stirring occasionally.

10. Pour in wine (if using) and cook
uncovered until rice has absorbed all
liquid and alcohol has evaporated,
stirring frequently.

11. Press the START|CANCEL button to stop
the SAUTÉ|SEAR setting.

12. Refer to step 1 in the RISOTTO setting
section below.

RISOTTO Setting

then press the START|CANCEL button to
activate the setting. The START|CANCEL
button surround will illuminate red and

will take approximately 20-30 minutes
depending on the recipe.

spoon provided. At this stage remaining
ingredients can be added i.e., butter,
parmesan cheese, herbs, salt and pepper.

KEEP WARM setting for 30 minutes
before switching OFF. However, risotto
is best served as soon as possible after
completion of cooking.

OPERATING YOUR MULTI CHEF RC 4010

There may be occasions when the multi cooker
switches to the KEEP WARM setting or switches
o before cooking is complete.
If this occurs, simply press the desired cooking
button, then press the START|CANCEL button.
The START|CANCEL button surround will
illuminate red and the selected setting will
be activated. This is asafety mechanism to
prevent overheating due to certain cooking
conditions.

NOTE

Allow the risotto to rest in the KEEP WARM
setting for 5 or 10 minutes to  nish cooking.

TIP

For optimum risotto results, we recommend
you stir once after 15-20 minutes in the
RISOTTO setting.

TIP

HOW TO MAKE RICE

RICE|STEAM setting

1. Use the multi cooker rice scoop provided
to measure the required quantity of rice
(refer to cooking tables - page 18).

Always measure level scoops, not heaped

(Fig 1).

(1 Australian standard metric measuring cup
is equal to 200g of uncooked rice) If your multi
cooker rice scoop is lost or misplaced, use
another cup but maintain the same cooking
ratios and ensure you do not exceed the 10
scoop maximum line in the removable cooking
bowl:
White Rice = 1 scoop rice + 1 scoop water (using
the multi cooker rice scoop)
Brown Rice = 1 scoop rice + 1½ scoops water
(using the multi cooker rice scoop)

NOTE

2. Place measured rice into aseparate bowl
and wash with cold water to remove
any excess starch. The rice is ready for
cooking when water runs clear from the
rice. Drain well.

3. Ensure the exterior of the removable
cooking bowl is clean before placing it
in the housing (this will ensure proper
contact with the inner cooking surface)
(Fig 2).

Fig. 1

The multi cooker rice scoop is not astandard
metric measuring cup.
1 multi cooker rice scoop is equal to 150g of
uncooked rice and 180ml of water.

Fig. 2

4. Add the washed rice to the removable
cooking bowl, ensuring rice is spread
evenly across the bottom of the bowl and
not heaped to one side (Fig 3).
