USING THE CUISINART MULTI COOKER
The Multi Cooker is a versatile piece of kitchen equipment. It can be used
in various ways, depending on the food you are cooking.
Grill
Use the Multi Cooker to sear meats and to grill burgers, fish and vegetables.
When the Multi Cooker is being used as a grill, use the removable, non-
stick grill plate. It can be used with the glass lid, to minimise splashing.
Cook
Use the Multi Cooker for casseroles, stews or to cook meats, fish, vegetables
or rice and pasta dishes in sauces. You can use the Multi Cooker to brown
/ saute base ingredients for your recipe, before adding in liquids / sauces.
When the Multi Cooker is being used in this way, use the non-stick cooking
pan and the glass lid.
Steam
Steam anything from artichokes to broccoli to chicken breasts in the Multi
Cooker. Use the stainless steel steam rack, inside the cooking pan – add
water to the cooking pan, following the marking on the pan. Use the glass
lid, which allows steam to be gently released.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your Cuisinart Multi Cooker for the first time, ensure all
packaging is removed and all parts have been cleaned thoroughly (see
Cleaning & Maintenance Section).
