6 | COOKING MODES GUIDE
COOKING METHODS
For cooking and food preparation tips, see “Tips for great results” on how to get the most from each cooking method. Also, refer to the cookbook for special tips and tricks specially suited to each recipe, or visit www.kitchenaid.com/quickstart.
Sear (430–450°F/221–232°C)
Searing allows you to prepare meats for stews, soups, and other dishes. It uses high temperatures to cook the outside surfaces quickly, trapping flavor and juices inside.
Sauté (330–370°F/166–188°C)
Sautéing is ideal for giving meats and vegetables a fresh, crisp flavor and texture. Use Sauté for creating oriental dishes, stir-fries, and breakfast foods such as sausage and scrambled eggs.
Boil/Steam (192–232°F/89–111°C)
Use Boil/Steam to prepare a variety of foods such as hot cereals, steam shrimp, or to heat delicate foods such as fish with indirect heat.
Simmer (185–210°F/85–99°C)
Simmer is great for soups and stews where gentle cooking helps yield rich, hearty flavors.
Slow Cook (Low or High)
Slow Cook allows the Multi-Cooker to be used like a slow cooker, making it ideal for slow cooking BBQ, chili, and meatballs, to name just a few.
Keep Warm (165°F/74°C)
Keep Warm mode is designed to keep foods at serving temperature after cooking has finished for up to 24 hours. Certain cooking methods and modes feature an automatic Keep Warm mode. For other cooking methods and modes, Keep Warm can be selected manually.
IMPORTANT: Use Keep Warm only with fully cooked food. Keep Warm is intended to keep fully cooked food at serving temperature.
SETTING THE TIMER FOR COOKING METHODS
1.Press TIMER. The timer display will begin to blink, showing a default time of 0:00.
2.Press > to scroll to your desired time. Press START/ENTER to select.
NOTE: The light on the Start/Enter button will flash until you press it.
3.When the timer countdown is complete, the Multi-Cooker will beep 3 times and the light will stay on without flashing.
NOTE: The timer will not affect the cooking method itself. When the timer countdown is complete, the cooking method you’ve chosen will continue to run and the heater will stay on unless cancelled manually.
4.To clear the timer after a countdown has already begun, press START/ ENTER.
