SAUTÉ
The SAUTÉ function cooks at a medium-high heat similar to stove top cooking. This function
will heat the cooking pot quickly and is useful for cooking stir-frys, as well as browning or
caramelising ingredients prior to slow cooking, casseroling or roasting. The temperature can
be set from 130°C to 210°C. Use 200°C for browning and caramelising, and cook stir-frys at
180°C.See the recipe guide in the back of this instruction booklet for some recipes to get you
started.

used with this multi cooker.
• Do not place the lid on when using the Sauté function.

SLOW COOK
Whether you prefer a hearty beef casserole, a chicken curry or a minestrone soup, slow
cooking is not only a avoursome and time-saving cooking process, it can save you money.
Hours of slow cooking means avour intensity and cheaper cuts of meat transform into melt
in your mouth meals. See the recipe guide in the back of this instruction booklet for some
recipes to get you started.

the Sauté Function”.

ROAST
Sunday roasts just got easier, as you can even cook roasts such as topside beef, shoulders
of lamb or pork, whole chickens and roasted vegetables with the roast function.
You can brown your piece of meat rst using the SAUTÉ function to seal in the avour. Place
meat on the rack and select the ROAST function for the required time and you will end up
with a succulent roast in less time than a traditional oven. You can even use the left over
stock in the pot to make your gravy. See the recipe guide in the back of this instruction
booklet for some recipes to get you started.
NOTE: The roasting rack is optional, you can also place your ingredients directly into
the cooking pot without the rack.
IMPORTANT: Always remember to ‘rest’ meat for at least 10 minutes for it to relax
and retain juices. It is also wise to have a meat thermometer in your kitchen to test
the doneness of your meat (safe internal temperatures for red meat is 72°C, poultry
75°C and fish 65°C), especially for large cuts of meat. Also, please note, it is not
recommended to cook frozen meat.
