ADAPTING YOUR OWN RECIPES
After you have made some of the recipes supplied you may wish to adapt a few of your own
recipes. Start by selecting one of the recipes in this booklet, which is similar to your own and use
this as a guide.
HINTS AND TIPS
• When using the sous vide function always use the correct vacuum bags and follow the
instructions on your vacuum sealer machine for sealing food in pouches
• When selecting or preparing food for in pouches ensure they are of even thickness so they
will cook at similar times or place in separate bags to allow you to remove one or let another
cook for longer.
• Cooking times in recipes are a guide and will vary according to the starting temperature of
your food, the thickness of the food, how cold the water in the machine is when you start
cooking etc.
• Always check food is fully cooked before removing from the machine.
• For Slow Cooker , always make sure the things that will need most cooking are in contact with
the base of the inner pan as that is where the heat spreads from
• If adapting your own recipes for slow cooking you may want to reduce the amount of water
as the slow cooker has a tightly fitting lid and less liquid evaporates off during cooking. You
can also remove the lid and cook on a higher temperature for 10-15 minutes at end in order
to reduce down the liquid.
• During cooking, only lift the lid if necessary. If condensation forms on the inside of the lid
reducing your vision, carefully tilt the lid away from you so that the condensation falls back
into the cooking pan

TROUBLESHOOTING
Following are some common problems that can occur when using the Multichef. Please review
the problems, their possible cause and any corrective action that should be taken to ensure a
successful outcome.
Problem Possible cause Solution
The food does not seem to be
cooking
The machine is not switched
on at one of several points
Check the electrical lead is
properly in place, the power
is on at the socket and the
power is switched ,on the
machine. Finally check you
have pressed start once you
have set the temperature and
time.
Water gets into the product
pouch
The bag has not been sealed
properly.
Check you are using purpose-
made vacuum bags and check
that there is no food in the
seal before you seal the bag.
The product does not seem
fully cooked at the end of the
cooking time
A variety of things can affect
the cooking time- eg the
thickness of the food, the
starting temperature of
the food to be cooked, the
starting temperature of the
water bath.
Check all food is fully cooked
before removing it from the
water bath, add on more time
if required.
Food cooked in the slow
cooker seems very wet, or the
sauce may seem thin
The slow cooker lid seals well
and so little moisture escapes
during cooking this can make
it wetter than food cooked
other ways
Reduce the amount of liquid
in the initial recipe (you can
always add more later). Turn
up the temperature and lift
the lid partly off the Multi
cooker until the liquid reduces
I cannot get the food in the
inner pan to brown on my
hob
The inner pan will not cook
on induction hobs
If you have an induction hob,
then brown meats etc. in a
sauce pan and then add them
to the inner pan and cook as
normal.
