FEATURES & FUNCTIONS

• A. Multi Cooker + Sous Vide Base: The Multi Cooker Base is equipped with EasyLift Handles and houses the heating unit and Pre-programmed Control Panel. The Base holds the Removable Cooking Pot and the Tempered Glass Lid.

• B. Tempered Glass Lid: An important feature of the Deluxe Multi Cooker + Sous Vide is the heat-resistant Tempered Glass Lid. Designed with a full viewing window, the Lid allows observation of the cooking process without opening the Lid. Opening the Lid while cooking is not recommended, as it reduces the oven temperature and causes a subsequent increase in cooking times.
  To open the Lid after cooking, use the handle on top to lift the Lid up and away from your face. Care should be taken when opening the Lid, as the collected steam may be hot. Use pot holders, if needed, to open the Lid and stand well away from any escaping steam. Place the Lid on a water-resistant surface. Remove the hot food or hot food bags with tongs.

• C. Easy Lift Handles: The engineered EasyLift Handles on the Deluxe Multi Cooker Base allow for the safe movement of the Base, particularly when cleaning or moving after use. The Deluxe Multi Cooker Base should only be moved while it is unplugged and cool to the touch. The EasyLift Handles allow the user to safely grasp both handles and remove food or liquids as needed.

• D. Removable Cooking Pot: The die cast aluminum Removable Cooking Pot holds the Sous Vide Rack or the Steaming/Baking Rack. The Removable Cooking Pot has a wide wrap-around lip for easy lifting and movement and the interior is nonstick for easy clean-up.
  When using the Deluxe Multi Cooker for sous vide cooking, the Sous Vide Rack should be placed first into the Removable Cooking Pot, water added, and then filled food bags should be positioned on the Sous Vide Rack. Food should always be placed in prepared bags for cooking and always placed on the Rack in the Removable Cooking Pot.

• E. Small Sous Vide Rack: When using the Sous Vide Mode, a Rack must be used for circulation. The Small Sous Vide Rack holds smaller-sized filled food bags upright for optimal results. When using the Sous Vide Mode for larger cuts of meat or seafood, the filled food bags may be placed on the Steaming/Baking Rack (F) as an alternative.

• F. Baking/Steaming Rack: This versatile Rack can be used in either the High or Low position for baking or, steaming. It can also be used when cooking larger cuts of meat or seafood using the Sous Vide Mode.

BAKE MODE

Preset Temp| Preset Time| Optional Temp Range| Optional Time Range
---|---|---|---
 |  |  |
320°F| 2 hrs| 230 – 420°F| 30 min – 4 hrs
 |  |  |

With the versatile nature of the Deluxe Multi Cooker, you can easily and effortlessly bake in your Cooker. Here are some handy hints for baking:

• Use the Bake Mode to cook foods at 320°F for 2 hours or increase the time and temperature as desired.
• ALWAYS use the Removable Cooking Pot for baking. Place prepared ingredients in the Removable Cooking Pot and watch carefully during baking to avoid burning.
• Steamed desserts turn out beautifully in the Deluxe Multi Cooker. Place the Steaming/Baking Rack in the bottom of the Removable Cooking Pot (or use a stainless steel rack of your choice). Pour at least 3 cups water into the Pot to ensure the Pot does not become dry during baking. Place a heat-proof dish with your prepared ingredients onto the rack. Place the Lid on top and steam per your recipe. Watch to ensure the Pot has enough water to operate correctly and, if needed, carefully add water.
• Baked foods in the Deluxe Multi Cooker will cook faster than normal; watch carefully to avoid burning.
• The heating element is close to the bottom of the Removable Cooking Pot. If baking a heavy-density food, such as cheesecake, use lower temperatures to ensure the bottom does not burn before the top of the baked food is cooked.

SAUTÈ MODE

Preset Temp| Preset Time| Optional Temp Range| Optional Time Range
---|---|---|---
 |  |  |
390°F| 10 min| 375 – 425°F| 5 min – 2 hrs
 |  |  |

The sauté method of cooking is one where foods are cooked quickly with continual stirring. When cooks sauté, they are typically mixing and softening aromatics such as onions, garlic, carrots and herbs via quick, high heat. Although it may be tempting to skip this step and merely toss ingredients together, this part of your meal brings out all the delicious flavors of your foods. The following hints and tips will help make your sautés wonderfully flavorful and cooked to perfection:

• Pour 1-2 tablespoons oil into the Removable Cooking Pot before adding foods. Add uniformly chopped onions, garlic, celery, carrots, herbs and other ingredients as desired.
• Use a long-handled wooden or heat-proof spoon or spatula to consistently turn and move the food around in the heated Pot. The foods can easily burn, so remember to turn them.
• Select tender cuts of meat and cut or slice them very thinly and uniformly for best results.
• Add sauces, wine, soy sauce or small amounts of broth as needed. Do not add large amounts of liquid all at once; pour slowly to avoid splattering.

ROAST MODE

Preset Temp| Preset Time| Optional Temp Range| Optional Time Range
---|---|---|---
 |  |  |
355°F| 1 hr| 300 – 475°F| 30 min – 3 hrs
 |  |  |

The most tender and delicious large cuts of meat can be easily prepared using your Deluxe Multi Cooker. Beef cuts such as chuck roasts and round tip roasts are economical, yet hearty and satisfying when cooked to perfection in the Roast Mode. Try a whole prepared chicken, stuffed with herbs and orange slices, a pork shoulder roast with garlic slices or a bone-in ham slathered with honey…no matter what cut you choose, your Roast Mode will make it super easy. The following hints and tips will help along the way:

• Always use an instant-read meat thermometer to ensure your meat has cooked to the proper temperature.
• Make sure before cooking that your cut of meat fits the Removable Cooking Pot with the Lid securely in place. Place a bed of sliced onions on the bottom of the Pot, resting the roast on top, for superior flavor. Or create a bed of quartered potatoes or sliced lemons for poultry. The options are endless and the meat will be juicy and tender when ready to eat.
• Pour 1-2 tablespoons canola oil in the Removable Cooking Pot. Cover with cleaned and quartered carrots, onions, potatoes or turnips and place meat on top of the vegetables. Add 2-3 cups broth and roast your one-dish dinner until hot and deliciously hearty.
• When done cooking, move the roast to a cutting board and wrap or tent with aluminum foil to rest for 10 minutes. This will allow the meat juices to settle. Slice and serve after resting.
• If you’d like to make gravy, use the Sauté Mode to quickly heat the liquid in the Removable Cooking Pot after removing the roast. Stir and add ½ cup water mixed with 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour to thicken the gravy. Add seasonings to flavor and continue stirring and heating for 5 minutes.

SOUS VIDE MODE

The art of sous vide cooking is truly an art! It is simple in nature, yet this cooking method is often used by gourmet chefs to prepare the most complex, rich entrées and vegetables. Because the foods are cooked at low temperatures for longer times, the texture and flavors are authentically and naturally good-for-you and flavorful. Beef, poultry, fish and pork are fork-tender when done, with rich and inviting textures. Vegetables retain all their nutrients when cooked sous vide, so many of the natural sugars are retained, offering delightfully sweet and nutritious side dishes. In fact, everything about sous vide says, “naturally good-for you!”

• Be sure to refer to the Cooking Guide in your Recipe Book for full sous vide cooking information.
• The thickness of meat, poultry and fish will determine the length of cooking time. Use an instant-read thermometer after removing from the cooking bag to guarantee that a safe-food temperature is indicated.
• Food safety in handling and cooking is always a priority. When unsure of doneness, add 30 minutes to the cook time to pasteurize eggs and/or poultry.
• Searing after cooking gives foods a crispy texture and an appealing visual picture. When meat is done, toss butter into a smoking-hot skillet and quickly sear the cooked meat for 30 seconds on each side. This gives the meat a caramel color and an appetizing outer appearance.
• Some tough cuts of beef and pork can be cooked sous vide to tender perfection in 4 to 24 hours. Sear quickly when done and serve with root vegetables.
• Vegetables will cook faster if they are thinly sliced or cut in small pieces; or if left whole, they will take more time to become tender. Either way, the natural sweetness and full nutrient value adds to the delight in sous vide vegetables.
• Fruit can be cooked sous vide to make toppings, purees, syrups and such. Cook for 2-2½ hours at 160°F and let cool in the bag before using.
• To prep meat, poultry and fish before cooking, add seasonings or rubs before bagging. Vacuum seal or use the Water Displacement Method to remove the water from the bag before cooking (see following).
• To avoid the cooked protein that surfaces in sous vide chicken and fish, called “albumin,” brine the chicken or fish for one hour in lightly salted water, drain and pat dry.
• ALWAYS use a BPA-free vacuum-sealed bag when cooking foods more than 8 hours.
• Use a vacuum-sealed bag or use the “Water Displacement Method” for foods cooked fewer than 8 hours.

Water Displacement Method

1. Fill a large plastic container with cool water.
2. Prep your food to be cooked and place food in a BPA-free plastic freezer bag. Do not seal.
3. Slowly immerse the food-filled bag into the water. This will force the air out as the bag is immersed.
4. Continue immersing the bag until just before the water reaches the top of the bag.
5. With the bag in the water, close or zip to seal, forcing out all remaining air as much as possible.

YOGURT MODE

• Place the Removable Cooking Pot into the Base. Fill up to halfway with water, depending on how many jars of yogurt you will be cooking. Place the filled and lidded jars of yogurt into the water bath in the Removable Cooking Pot and set the Yogurt Mode for cooking.
• Follow your recipe directions carefully to ensure complete success. Remove jars when done and cool, then refrigerate until using.

• Because the Deluxe Multi Cooker is smaller than typical ovens, be sure to check foods early in the cooking process to ensure foods do not over-cook.
• ALWAYS use the Removable Cooking Pot when using any Mode. Add a small amount of oil or butter if heating and mixing vegetables.
• The Manual Mode is place where you can explore and create new recipes or refine classics and family favorites. Enjoy your energy savings using the economical Deluxe Multi Cooker!

Slow cooked meals are the favorite of every busy cook. Although many people already have favorite recipes, some easy hints and tips follow:

• ALWAYS use the Removable Cooking Pot for all Cooking Modes.

• Slow cooked foods don’t need much liquid, but there should be at least ½ cup in the Removable Cooking Pot to start.

• Foods will cook over a long period of time and excess moisture will self-create liquid, however check occasionally during the cooking period to ensure the contents of the Pot do not become dry. If so, carefully open the Glass Tempered Lid and add a small amount of liquid.

• Fill the Removable Cooking Pot at least halfway with food for best slow-cooking results.

• Cut all ingredients into uniform sizes for best results.

• Use cuts of meat with a high fat content to help break down the connective tissue of meat and make it tender. Select pot roasts, chuck steak or roast, cross-rib roasts or meaty chops or ribs.

• Seafood and shellfish should not be added to a slow-cooked dish until the last
  1- 1½ hours of cooking. Refer to your recipe for directions.

• Do not place frozen, unthawed meat or seafood into the Removable Cooking Pot for slow-cooking.

• Carefully check safety information regarding cooking meats and the Keep Warm feature. It is unhealthful and potentially dangerous to allow cooked foods to stand at a low temperature for long periods of time. Refer to www.foodsafety.gov for full details regarding food safety.

KEEP WARM MODE

Preset Temp| Preset Time| Optional Temp Range| Optional Time Range
 |  |  |
155°F| 2 hrs| non-adjustable| 1 hr – 4 hrs
 |  |  |

The Keep Warm Mode is a great way to “heat and hold” foods until everyone is ready to eat. The Deluxe Multi Cooker offers this convenience for up to 4 hours.
Refer to the safety information at: www.foodsafety.gov for full details regarding the process of safely keeping food warm.

RICE MODE

Preset Temp| Preset Time| Optional Temp Range| Optional Time Range

Your Deluxe Multi Cooker will prepare rice perfectly! Because there are many types of rice, refer to your package instructions for exact measurements of rice-to-liquid for best results. Try inventive and fun rice dishes – risotto, jambalaya, Cajun shrimp and rice, rice pudding, and other favorites.

• ALWAYS use the Removable Cooking Pot when making rice. Do not pre-soak rice, but rinse it in water, if desired. Add salt, if desired.
• To make fluffy long grain white rice perfectly, use a 3:1 ratio, as in 3 cups water to 1 cup rice. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the rice before cooking to help keep rice from sticking and to add a depth of rich flavor.
• Add the Keep Warm Mode for up to 4 hours, if desired. Rice will hold safely for this length of time at a low warm temperature.

STEW MODE

Stew practically cooks itself inside your Deluxe Multi Cooker! Use the Stew Mode to set the time and walk away until it’s done. Here are some handy tips for usage:

• ALWAYS use the Removable Cooking Pot. Select cuts of meat such as chuck roast and chuck steak that will become tender within the cooking time. Meat should be no more than 2-inches thick and cut into 1-inch cubes.
• Add frozen, thawed mixed vegetables for a quick addition to stew. Spread the vegetables around the meat pieces.
• Try easy classic recipes such as Coq au Vin, a superbly simple dish of stewed chicken thighs with mushrooms and a wine sauce. The Stew Mode will cook everything perfectly. Serve over rice or pasta for an incredible one-dish dinner.

STEAM MODE

Steaming is a very healthful and nutritionally sound cooking method. It helps retain many vitamins and minerals that can be lost through other methods. Steaming offers very tender results and, as such, is perfectly suited to seafood, vegetables and other foods that break down quickly with moist heat. The following hints and tips will help you create quick and easy steamed success with your Deluxe Multi Cooker:

• ALWAYS use the Baking/Steaming Rack inside the Removable Cooking Pot for steaming. DO NOT steam without the Removable Cooking Pot as electrical shock can occur if the heating element is exposed to moisture or liquid.
• Place the Rack inside the Removable Cooking Pot, then place food directly on the rack or inside a heatproof plate or dish on top of the rack. Make sure the Tempered Glass Lid can close completely before starting the Steam Mode.
• Place at least 2-inches water in the Removable Cooking Pot to allow the Cooker to steam efficiently. If steaming for more than 30 minutes, fill the water until it reaches the top of the Rack or bottom of the cooking dish. Check frequently to ensure the Pot has water and add water, if needed.

MAINTENANCE

• ALWAYS allow the Deluxe Multi Cooker to cool completely before cleaning.
• Unplug the Deluxe Multi Cooker before cleaning.
• After each use, clean and dry the Deluxe Multi Cooker. Use a damp cloth to clean the Cooker Base and Tempered Glass Lid. DO NOT immerse the Base in water. Use non-abrasive soap only.
• After each use, the Removable Cooking Pot may be placed in the dishwasher or washed by hand with the other parts.
