RICE COOKING

11
EN
e product calculates automatically the exact cooking time depending on the quantity of water and ingredients
placed in the insert (see cooking table below for guidance).
• For best results, we recommend using ordinary rice rather than “easy cook” type of rice which tends to give a
stickier rice and may stick to the base of the insert.
e cooking times given in the following table are only approximate and for your guidance.
Recommendations for best results:
• Measure out the rice and rinse it thoroughly under running water in a sieve for a long time (except for risotto rice
which should not be rinsed). en place the rice in the insert together with the corresponding amount of water.
• Make sure that the rice is well distributed around the whole surface of the insert, in order to allow even cooking.
• Add salt to taste.
• Water may be substituted for stock. If using stock, there is the risk of rice browning a bit on the bottom.
• Do not open the lid during cooking as steam will escape and this will aect the cooking time and the taste.

• Set the appliance on SLOW COOK, HIGH for 2h15 minutes.
• In the slow cooker, combine the wine, water, sugar, rosemary, bay leaves, star anise, and orange zests. Bring to
just below a boil for about 15min.
• In the meantime, peal the pears with a peeler. Using a melon baller, turn out the core of each pear from the
bottom. Place the peeled and cored pears in the slow cooker and close the lid. Slow coook for 2 hours on HIGH.
• Remove the pears from the cooker and let cool. Strain the poaching liquid into a pot and reduce over high heat
to ½ cup of syrup.
• Place the ricotta in a food processor and turn on. Drizzle in the honey and the lemon zest, and then thin with
the milk.

Serves 6
Cookting time: Slow cook, HIGH, 2H15
Ingredients:
6 pears
4 cups good quality red wine
2 cups water
1 cup granulated white sugar
3 sprigs fresh rosemary

2 star anise pieces
1 strip orange zest
2 cups fresh ricotta
¼ cup clover honey
1 strip of lemon zest
½ cup whole milk
1 cup ground almonds

Spring Pea and Mascarpone Risotto
Serves 8
Cooking Time: Rice mode, about 25 minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups small spring peas, shelled
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 cups chicken stock
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 minced shallots
1 ½ cup Arborio risotto rice
½ cup white wine
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped nely
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ cup mascarpone cheese
2 cups nely grated parmesan
• Bring 2 quarts of water to a rapid boil. Add 1 teaspoon of the salt. Prepare an ice bath to cool the peas when they
come out of the blanching water. Pour the peas into the boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Remove the peas
with a small strainer and plunge into the ice water. When fully cool, strain the peas and set aside.
• Take 1 cup of the peas and puree in a blender with ½ cup of the chicken stock. Set aside.
• Set the slow cooker on RICE and let it heat up. Add the olive oil. When the oil shimmers add the shallot and
cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add rice and toast for 1 minute until the rst layer of starch exudes
from each grain and the rice becomes nicely glossy. Deglaze the rice with the white wine and cook down for 4
minutes. Add 1 cup of stock to moisten down the rice, stirring constantly. Gradually add more stock, ½ cup at a
time. After about 15 minutes of adding stock gradually and stirring constantly, taste the risotto. If it’s still rock
solid on the interior, continue adding stock and cook it a bit longer. If it has a great, crisp interior bite and seems
just moments away from being done, then continue with the recipe. e consistency should be softer than you
imagine, as the risotto will continue to rm up on once you plate it up.
• Once the risotto is ready, add the blanched peas, pea puree, parsley, butter, mascarpone, and parmesan. Stir
vigorously to emulsify those ingredients into the risotto. Season with the remaining salt to your taste, and serve
immediately.
