Before using your Deluxe Multi Cooker for the rst time, do an initial test run. You’ll nd the instructions in the
use and care manual. Always follow all the safety instructions listed in the use and care manual such as using heat-safe oven
mitts or pads when handling hot items and how to safely release pressure after cooking. The inner pot has two ll lines marked:
2/3 PC Max and 1/2. When cooking foods that expand like rice, don’t ll above the 1/2 line. Let’s get cooking!

Steam-Release
This releases pressure after cooking is done.
• Natural Release is when you let the the unit sit for 10 minutes after cooking is done
so the pressure releases slowly. Then press to release any remaining pressure.
• Manual Release is when you press immediately after cooking is done. This
stops certain foods like pasta from overcooking.

Which Cooking Method?
That depends on three things: time, temperature, and texture.
See how to get the very best results, every time.
Pressure Cook
How It Works
Pressure and steam speed up cooking up to 70% faster than
other methods, locking in nutrients and adding moisture.
Best For
Quick cooking: Enjoy fork-tender pot roast in under an hour!
Most foods: Chicken, roasts, firm veggies, potatoes, dried beans,
rice, soup, dessert, you name it!
Need to Know
• Liquid creates the steam and pressure, so add at least 1 cup (250 mL) or what the recipe calls for.
• It takes a little time for pressure to build, like preheating the oven, but you’ll more than make up
the time during cooking.
• Once cooking begins, there’s no peeking. Let the presets take the guesswork out of making
everyday favorites.
No planning required! Fast, flavorful meals, even from frozen.
Slow Cook
How It Works
Food cooks on a low temperature for hours which tenderizes
meat and adds rich flavor.
Best For
Hands-off cooking: Add ingredients in the morning, let cook
all day, and have a flavorful, tender one-pot meal ready for dinner.
Roasts, soups, chili: Soup, stew, and chili are always winners. So
are briskets, short ribs, chuck roasts, pork shoulder, and lamb shanks.
Need to Know
• It’s best to brown meat first for better flavor and texture.
• You can add foods at different stages, but lifting the lid causes heat to escape. It might take extra
time for it to return to the cooking temp (like opening the oven door).
• Fresh herbs, other than rosemary, dry out during slow cooking, so use dried herbs or add fresh
herbs right at the end.
Zero fuss. Just add ingredients and let it do its thing.

7
Sous Vide
How It Works
Food is sealed in an airtight bag and is placed in a temperature-controlled water bath to slowly and
gently cook. The result: Every part of the food—inside and out, top to bottom—cooks to the same
temperature and texture.
Best For
Predictable results: No more undercooked centers with overcooked outsides. For the best results,
quickly sear right before serving to add color, texture, and even more flavor.
Meat, fish, and veggies: Great for tender cuts of meat, firm fish, chicken, or to tenderize tougher
cuts of meat. Plus, veggies taste as vibrant as they look.
Water Bath Know-How
• Store-bought resealable freezer bags are sturdier than storage bags. You can also use reusable
silicone bags or vacuum-sealed bags.
• Place the food in a single layer in the bag so everything cooks evenly.
• Remove the air from the bag before sealing. You can either press on the bag with your forearm to
expel the air, or you can lower the bag into a pot of water and the water pressure will push the air out.
• To cook, fully submerge the bag leaving the seal outside of the water. If it floats, you can clip a binder
clip to the bottom of the bag and place a heavy spoon into the clip opening. Or, you can place the
wire rack on top of the bag and add pie weights or heavy spoons if needed.
Need to Know
• Preheating the water takes about 35 minutes, so this is a good time to prep and marinade.
• All of our recipes use fresh or completely thawed foods, not frozen. Our cooking times are not
accurate for frozen foods.
• Use garlic powder instead of raw garlic for two reasons: taste and safety. With this slower cooking
method, raw garlic can turn bitter, and in rare cases, can become unsafe to eat.
• Most meats can remain in the water bath after reaching the set temperature without overcooking
for up to two hours, so you have plenty of wiggle room for serving.
• We recommend cooking all food at or above 130°F (54.5°C), searing proteins after cooking, and
chilling food immediately after cooking when storing.
The secret to restaurant-quality steaks, fish fillets, and chops.

Homemade Yogurt
With just two ingredients and five minutes of hands-on time,
you can have creamy yogurt, made just the way you like it.
Live or Active Cultures: These are good bacteria that turn milk into yogurt and give it its texture and tangy
avor. You’ll need live cultures, or yogurt starter, for the rst batch. Any plain, unavored store-bought yogurt
with live yogurt cultures will do. After that, you can use your homemade yogurt as the starter. Science!
Culturing: This is the amount of time it takes for milk and starter to turn into yogurt, anywhere from
8–24hours. The longer it cooks, the tangier it gets. At 16 hours or longer, the tanginess will be similar to
store-bought yogurt. When adding sugar before culturing, we recommend culturing no longer than 16hours.
Milk Protein Skin: As milk heats up, a skin can form on the surface, so stir regularly. There’s nothing wrong
with the skin other than it leaves hard bits in the otherwise smooth yogurt. Just skim off when done cooking.
Yogur t Vocabula ry
Before Culturing
• When adding the starter, the milk must be 105–115°F
(41–46°C). If it’s too hot it won’t properly culture (like yeast
when making bread).
• Before adding the yogurt starter to the milk, whisk a small
amount of the heated milk into the starter in a separate bowl.
This way, the starter will be smooth and evenly distribute.
Thick Yogurt
• Place a strainer such as a ne mesh sieve lined with
cheesecloth, coffee lters, or high-quality paper towels
over a large bowl to catch liquid. Then add the yogurt, cover
with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until desired consistency,
about six hours for Greek-style yogurt.
• The liquid that drains off after straining (whey) can be used
in protein drinks, smoothies, soup, marinades, as a starter to
make more yogurt, or as a substitute for buttermilk.
Storing
• Gently spoon into individual portions or storage containers
without stirring.
• You might notice some separation. This is normal, especially
with longer culturing.
• Will stay fresh in your refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Next Batches
• You can use yogurt starter from your homemade yogurt
for up to a week.
• If your yogurt is not culturing as quickly as earlier batches,
the starter may be too weak. Use store-bought yogurt in your
next batch.

Homemade Yogurt
Makes 8 cups (2 L)
8 cups (2 L) 2% milk
½ cup (125 mL) plain unsweetened
yogurt with active cultures
Homemade Vanilla Yogurt
Makes 8 cups (2 L)
8 cups (2 L) 2% milk
½ cup (125 mL) plain unsweetened
yogurt with active cultures
½ cup (125 mL) sugar
2 tbsp (30 mL) vanilla extract
. Add the milk to the inner pot. Select on Low and
heat the milk until it reaches to 180–185°F (82–85°C),
20–25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent skin from
forming. Press .
. Let the milk cool to 105–115°F (41–46°C), about 1 hour at
room temperature. Stir as needed to keep skin from forming.
If any forms, skim it off.
. In a small bowl, whisk ½ cup (125 mL) of the warm milk into
the starter yogurt. Pour the mixture in the inner pot and stir
well to blend. For vanilla yogurt, add the sugar and vanilla.
. Cover and select on Med. Set the timer to 8 hours
or up to 12 hours for tangier yogurt; press and hold .
. Once the timer is up, press . Gently spoon into storage
containers without stirring. Chill before eating. Serve with
fresh fruit, if you’d like.
Cook’s Tips
The thickness and creaminess of the yogurt depends on the milk you use. If you use skim milk,
the yogurt will be a little thinner.
Don’t add anything other than sugar and vanilla before culturing. Anything acidic, like fresh fruit,
can be added right before serving.
