Cooking tips】
Stir-Fry
The perfect stir-fry requires high heat and only a small amount of oil. Start by cooking the meat first (or skip ahead if making a vegetarian stir-fry), until it starts to caramelize and remove to a plate (it doesn’t have to be completely
done at this point). Then, add your vegetables, the longercooking ones first, and progressively add the quickercooking ones. Finally, return the meat to the pan and cook until done. Recipe Suggestion: Teriyaki chicken and vegetable stir-fry.

Sauce
The sauce mode provides enough heat and cooking time to bring out the flavor of onions and other aromatics that form the base of many great sauces. For extended saucemaking, some chefs opt to transition to the Simmer mode
after combining ingredients under the Sauce mode. Recipe Suggestion: Homemade Marinara Sauce.

Simmer
Simmering is all about cooking low and slow. This setting is perfect for when you need time to bring out the flavor of your ingredients or to tenderize tougher cuts of meat in a stew. Recipe Suggestion: Beef Chili.

Steam
Steaming is a quick and healthy way to cook. When using the steam mode, add 2.5 cm of water to the pan before adding your ingredients, then use the steam mode to hold the Omni Cooker at the perfect even steaming temperature.
Recipe Suggestion: Steamed Broccoli with Olive Oil, Garlic and Lemon.

Rice

• First, rinse the rice using enough water, then pour out the water immediately. Scrub and rinse the rice repeatedly with water until the water becomes reasonably clear.
• For effortless rice, simply use a 1:1.3 weight ratio of Rice: Water.
• To make the operation easier with reference to the marking scale (see drawing in the description of parts list). Simply use a cup to measure the rice (1 cup = 180 ml rice). A minimum of 2 cups (= 360 ml rice) must be used.
• Level the surface of the rice in the pan and fill or pour out water on a flat surface according to the cup scale inside the pan. For example, when 4 cups (720 ml) of rice are in the pan, the water level should meet the mark of 4 cup.
• Select the function White Rice or Brown Rice depending on the choice of rice.

Note: Other kinds of rice (short grain rice, wild rice, etc.) can also be cooked in your Omni Cooker. You can vary the default rice cooking times accordingly (See: Programmed Operation above)

Grains
Select this mode to cook all other grains, such as quinoa or oats. Consult the grain packaging for the correct Grain: Water ratio.

Soup
When cooking soup, it’s important not to overcook your ingredients on high heat. That’s where soup mode comes in, and does the work for you by perfectly regulating the heat for an aromatic, flavorful soup-making experience.

Sear
This mode generates high heat required for searing and sautéing. Add a small amount of oil to the pan before starting, and when the “preheat” indicator dims, you’ll know it’s at the perfect temperature to get deep-brown searing and caramelization.

Other cooking tips

• Be sure to spread oil in the Omni Cooker before cooking, using a heat-resistant spatula or other utensil.
•  Always use tongs or another utensil to remove food, do not lift the Omni Cooker to pour.
• The Omni Cooker must be placed on a level surface during use—otherwise, uneven cooking (especially for rice) will result.
• Your Omni Cooker heats up more quickly than normal stovetop cookware.
• Always use a little oil or butter suited for frying for best results. Avoid low smoke point oil or aerosol sprays as they cannot withstand high heat.
