TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS Cooking tips Searing and Sautéing: • For best browning results, pat exterior surfaces of meat dry with paper towels before sautéing or searing. • It’s important not to over-crowd the cooking pot when browning meat for a recipe. Brown approx. 0.25 kg or less at a time for the best results and to avoid steaming the meat. • If using oil or butter for sautéing, add it after the preheating the multi-cooker.
PAGE 22
TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS • It is not necessary to thaw frozen vegetables prior to adding to a soup for cooking, but the cooking time may need to be lengthened. Frozen meats should be thawed before cooking with the Soup cycle to be sure they are properly cooked through. • It’s best to add dairy ingredients such as cream, milk or cheeses near the end of cooking to prevent separation.
PAGE 23
