IMPORTANT: Please retain your
instruction book for future use.

At Kambrook, we believe that safe performance is the first priority in any
consumer product, so that you, our valued customer can confidently
use and trust our products. We ask that any electrical appliance that
you use be operated in a sensible fashion with due care and attention
placed on the following important operating instructions.

POWER light will stop flashing and
remain on as the multi-cooker
heats up.

9. When cooking is complete, turn

the mode selection dial to the
STANDBY position, switch off at
the power outlet and then unplug
from the power outlet.

NOTE: The maximum time for
slow cooking is 12 hours. Make
sure that there is sufficient water

Cooking Time Guide

Use the following table for suggested cooking times and settings when
adjusting your favourite recipes. Always check that the food is thoroughly
cooked before serving.

Traditional Recipe Time Slow Cooker Recipe Time

15–30 minutes 4–6 hours

35–45 minutes 6–10 hours

50 minutes – 3 hours 8–12 hours

Preparing Meat and Poultry

Select the leanest cuts when purchasing meat. Trim the meat or poultry of any
visible fat. If possible, purchase chicken portions without the skin. Otherwise,
the slow cooking process will result in extra liquid being formed from the fat as
it melts.

For casserole-type recipes, cut the meat into cubes, approximately 2.5cm to
3cm. Slow cooking allows less tender cuts of meat to be used.

Suitable Meat Cuts for Slow Cooking

Sauté and Browning Before Slow Cooking

Pre-browning meat and poultry prior to slow cooking, seals in the moisture,
intensifies the flavour and provides more tender results, whilst producing richer
flavours in other food, such as onions, capsicums and leeks. Pre-browning may
take a little extra time, and whilst not strictly necessary, the rewards are evident
in the end results. The meat can be sautéed in the multi-cooker or browned
in a non-stick pan to reduce the amount of oil required. Refer to page 13 for
instructions on how to use the sauté function.

Pot Roasting

The addition of liquid is required for pot roasting. Place sufficient liquid into the
removable cooking bowl to cover up to a third of the meat. Meat will not brown
during the pot roasting process. For browner results, sauté in the multi-cooker or
seal in a frypan before pot roasting.

Suitable Cuts for Pot Roasting

Meat Type of Cut

Beef

Beef Topside, Blade, Silverside Roasts,
Rolled Brisket

Lamb

Veal

Pork

Preparing Vegetables

Vegetables should be cut into
even-sized pieces to ensure more
even cooking. Frozen vegetables
must be thawed before adding to
the multi-cooker.

Preparing Dried Beans
and Pulses

If time permits, overnight soaking of
dried beans and pulses is preferable.
After soaking, drain and place in the
multi-cooker and cover with sufficient
water to reach double their volume.
Cook beans on the ‘SLOW COOK’
setting for 2–4 hours or until tender.
Pre-soaked beans and pulses will
cook a little faster.

Forequarter, Shank, Shoulder

Shoulder/Forequarter

Loin, Neck

Herbs and Spices

Leaf or whole herbs and spices are
preferred. If using ground or dried
herbs and spices, add during the last
hour of cooking.

NOTE: Always taste and season
before serving.

Milk and Cream

Milk, cream and sour cream tend
to break down during extended
cooking. When possible, add during
the last hour of cooking.
