First time use
When using your Multi-Cooker for the first time, please read the instructions contained in this
manual.
Make sure you remove all promotional stickers and labels and that the outside of
the inner bowl is clean and is not damaged.
Check to see if the outer pot is free from any objects prior to inserting the inner pot.
When adding any food into the inner pot make sure that the food is spread evenly across the
bottom of the bowl and not heaped on one side.
Select the required cooking function and revert to the appropriate recipe guide.
When preparing meat and poultry, try to select the leaner cuts of meat and trim off any visible
fat as this will reduce any excess liquid. Vegetables should be cut into small, even-sized
pieces to ensure even cooking. When cooking meat and vegetables together, it is important to
remember that meat cooks at a slower rate than vegetables.
Please be careful if you have cooked with the lid closed to avoid any scalding
from escaping steam. Lift the lid carefully and keep your face clear when
opening.

Unlike other cooking methods, slow cooking allows you to cook delicious meals with simple and
easy preparation. By simply leaving even the toughest cuts of meat to cook with seasoned liquid,
the slow cooker requires minimal involvement from the cook apart from the initial preparation.
The main benefits of slow cooking are that it promotes tenderness, concentrates flavours, is
convenient and can also be economical.
With this great function, poultry pieces will absorb and flavour the liquids surrounding them and
the meat will fall off the bone at a mere touch of a fork. Vegetable flavours intensify and become
delicate, even beans will stay whole while becoming smooth and rich.
Handy Tips
• When food is cooked using the Slow Cook function, most of the moisture is retained. As
a precaution, when using traditional recipes it is advised to use less liquid. However, after
cooking, if the liquid quantity is excessive, open the lid and continue cooking further until the
liquid reduces to the desired amount.
• Stirring the food as little as possible or even not stirring at all is best when slow cooking.
Make sure you adapt your cooking times to suit the slower method of cooking. Use the table below
as a guide. Please note that these times are approximate and can vary depending on ingredients
and quantities.

Suitable Meat Cuts
For Slow Cooking
Browning Before Slow Cooking
Pre-browning meat and poultry prior to slow cooking seals in the moisture, intensifies the flavours
and provides tender results, whilst also producing richer flavors in the other ingredients such as
onions, capsicum etc.
Pot Roasting
Additional liquid is required for pot roasting. Ensure there is sufficient liquid into the cooking pot
to cover roughly 1/3 of the meat. Remember that the meat will not brown during the pot roasting
process. For browner results use the brown function to seal the roast dish, before cooking.
Suitable

Lamb
Veal
Pork

Chuck, skirt, round steak, shin or gravy, Osso Bucco

A Beginners Guide To
Pressure Cooking
Pressure Cookers have been around for years and have become popular again due
to greater work commitments and busier schedules. By using steam under pressure,
temperature is produced which is considerably greater than a conventional oven.
This ensures decreased cooking times without sacrificing the great taste and flavour. Aside
from these great benefits, Pressure Cookers also ensure vegetables retain more vitamins
and minerals.
Handy Tips
• Far less liquid is needed than for traditional cooking methods.
• Never exceed the maximum fill amount of the pressure cooker 4/5 high on your pot.
• If starting with cold food, it will take longer for the pressure count down
timer to start.
• When the cooking time is complete and quick pressure release is required, make sure
you turn the valve to exhaust immediately, otherwise foods will continue to cook and
may overcook.
• Use the High Pressure setting when cooking meat.
• When cooking just vegetables or beans use the Low Pressure setting.
The general rule is that you use half the liquid used in slow cooking recipes. You may need
to play with your recipe to get it right.
Cooking Times
Cooking times may vary slightly due to your cut of meat and whether you have either
chunks, slices etc,. Use the table on the next page as a guide. Please note that these
times are approximations and can vary depending on ingredients and quantities.

A Beginners Guide
To Soup Making
Soups are a delicious meal option as either a starter or as a meal in itself. They are easy to make,
retain most the essential minerals and vitamins found in the ingredients and ensure a nourishing and
healthy meal. Soup generally involves cooking/boiling meat or vegetables in water or broth. The soup
function is ideal for making clear and thick style soups.
Handy Tips
• When sautéing is required by the recipe use the Brown function.
• The lid must be closed when using the Soup function and the keep valve closed or airtight.
• The Soup function works similarly to the low pressure function. The cooking timer will start
when the internal temperature has reached the automatic setting level.
• The timer defaults to 25 minutes which is suitable for most clear soup recipes. Thicker style
soups many need around 35 minutes to cook. Please note these cooking times are only an
indication and that times may vary according ingredients etc.
• Make sure that you do not overfill the inner cooking pot.
• The maximum level when making a soup should be level 3/5 in your pot.

A Beginners Guide
To Steaming
Steaming can be used for most foods and a surprising variety of recipes, and has great advantages
over other cooking methods. Steaming does not immerse foods in water into which nutrients,
particularly in vegetables, can escape. Therefore a far higher level of nutrients, vitamins and minerals
are retained than by other cooking methods. Steaming reduces Vitamin C in vegetables by 40%
whereas boiling reduces it by 70% because of the loss in the cooking water.
There are two main methods of steaming :
1. By suspending the exposed food over boiling water in a closed container.
2. A longer method of wrapping the food in a parcel e.g. foil and placed over boiling water.
Handy Tips
• Cut across the grain for extra tenderness.
• Never allow the liquid to touch the food or the food will boil and not steam.
• Liquid levels in the base should be maintained for constant cooking.
• Arrange food in a single layer or adjust cooking times accordingly.
• Arrange food on the steaming rack and/or steaming basket with space in between to allow
steam to circulate and cook more efficiently.
• Always defrost frozen meats, fish and poultry before steaming.
• When serving, steamed vegetables they can be drizzled with a light sauce of butter or olive oil
to compliment the tender nature of the vegetables.
They can also be sprinkled with lemon juice or balsamic vinegar for a tangy twist.
