NOTE: Use only Control Panel model number RHMC20-1 with this appliance.
SEAR/SAUTÉ
- Plug in the appliance.
- Rotate the knob to the Sear/Sauté function. Allows for the cooking surface to pre-heat which might take a few minutes. TIP – Start the program first while you prepare the ingredients to be seared.
- Add butter, oil, etc. to the cooking pot and use it in the same way as you would use a frying pan.
- When the oil or butter is hot, sear or sauté as you would on a stovetop. Stir ingredients during the cooking process. Flip the food halfway through to sear on both sides or stir while sauteing.
- Refer to your specific recipe for more precise times.
- When food is done, turn the knob to off or unplug it.
- Unplug the appliance when not in use and always allow it to completely cool before cleaning and storing.
ROAST
-
Place the rack in the cooking pot.
-
Place seasoned cuts of meat and/or cut-up vegetables on the rack in the cooking pot and cover with a glass lid.
-
Plug in the appliance.
-
Rotate the knob to the Roast function.
-
Set a timer per your recipe on a separate device. Refer to your specific recipe for more precise times.
-
When food is done, turn the knob to off or unplug it.
NOTE: Do not keep foods on the keep warm setting for more than 4 hours. -
Unplug the appliance when not in use and always allow it to completely cool before cleaning and storing.
TIPS
- The approximate maximum capacity for roasting is a 1.8–2.2 kg chicken or a 1.3–1.8 kg roast.
- If you desire a stronger flavor of browned meat, use the Sear/Sauté function before roasting to brown the meat.
- Always roast with the lid on. Open the lid as little as possible to ensure even cooking and to keep heat from escaping.
- Using a meat thermometer can help significantly improve and give a more accurate end result.
SLOW COOKING
THE BENEFITS OF SLOW COOKING
- Health: The gentle cooking action reduces damage to vitamins and retains more of the nutrients and flavors.
- Economy: Long, slow cooking can tenderize the cheaper, tougher cuts of meat, and uses about a quarter of the power of the small ring on the average hob.
- Convenience: Prepare the ingredients the night before, put them in the slow cooker before you leave, and have a delicious meal waiting for you when you get home.
USING THE SLOW COOKING MODE
-
Add the ingredients to the cooking pot and cover it with the glass lid.
-
Plug in the appliance.
-
Rotate the knob to your choice of low or high setting in the area indicated as Slow Cook.
NOTE: Do not use the Keep Warm setting to cook. Only use it to keep warm cooked food that is already hot. -
Set a timer per your recipe on a separate device. Keep the lid on.
-
End of cooking cycle: when time is up, turn the unit off by rotating the knob to off and unplug. Alternatively, rotate the knob to keep warm if desired.
NOTE: Do not keep foods on the keep warm setting for more than 4 hours. -
Unplug the appliance when not in use and always allow it to completely cool before cleaning and storing.
GENERAL TIPS
- Keep in mind that ingredients used straight from the fridge can increase the cooking time.
- Try not to open the lid unnecessarily during cooking. A lot of heat can escape when you do this and it can take your multi-cooker a long time to recover.
- When testing a dish to see if it’s cooked, don’t forget that root vegetables usually take longer to cook.
- Thaw frozen food completely before adding it to the cooking pot.
- Pre-browning meat beforehand is not strictly necessary but can help seal in the moisture and add depth to the flavor. Use your multi-cooker’s sear/sauté function to brown meat.
- Store ingredients prepared beforehand (e.g. the night before) in containers in the fridge. Don’t put the cooking pot into the fridge.
- When cooking with rice, use at least 150ml (¼ pt) of cooking liquid for each 100g (4 oz) of rice.
- Pasta isn’t suitable for slow cooking, it becomes too soft. If your recipe requires pasta, it should be pre-cooked and then stirred 30-40 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
- After all the ingredients are put into the cooking pot, it shouldn’t be more than three-quarters full. If you overfill, it may spit hot liquid or overflow during use.
- If the finished dish is too liquid, it can be thickened using a little cornflour, arrowroot, etc. For each 250-300 ml of liquid, mix together 2 tbsp of cornflour with enough water to form a thin paste. Add the paste to the dish approx. 30-45 minutes before the end of cooking. Alternatively, stir in ready-made gravy granules following the manufacturer’s instructions.
COOKING GUIDELINES
Vegetables
Slow cooking is ideal for vegetables. There’s little evaporation, so all the
juices and flavors are retained. Root vegetables like potatoes, carrots,
turnips, and swede, need more slow cooking time than meat. Cut them into bite-
size pieces and immerse them in the cooking liquid. Place the vegetables as
close to the bottom of the pot as possible. Quickly cooked vegetables, like
peas and sweetcorn, should be added half an hour before the end of cooking.
Pulses (Beans, Peas, and Lentils)
Some dried pulses (lentils, peas, etc.) may need soaking before use. Always
check any recommendations on the packaging before using.
WARNING
Dried beans (e.g. red kidney beans, cannellini, etc.) should be soaked for a
minimum of 8 hours and boiled for at least 10 minutes before adding to the
multi-cooker. They’re poisonous if eaten raw or undercooked.
Meat and Poultry
Slow cooking tenderizes cheaper cuts, and reduces shrinkage and evaporation,
retaining flavor and nutritional value. The leanest cuts of meat are best for
slow cooking.
Trim excess fat from the meat because this can add to the liquid during
cooking in the form of fat.
Where possible, use chicken without skin.
Cut the meat into evenly sized cubes (approx. 2.5 cm) for casseroles and
stews.
Suitable cuts include:
Beef – Brisket, shin, silverside, topside, stewing steak, braising steak,
chuck
Pork – Leg, shoulder, belly, cheek, chump
Lamb – Shanks, leg, shoulder, neck
CONVERTING RECIPES FROM A TRADITIONAL OVEN
These times are approximate and can vary depending on the ingredients and
quantities. Always check that the food is thoroughly cooked before serving.
Set a timer per your recipe on a separate device.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
When slow cooking, if there is an interruption to the mains power supply
during cooking of 2 hours or less, the appliance will resume cooking once the
power is restored. If the power is interrupted for longer than 2 hours the
food should be discarded. If you are not sure how long the appliance has been
off, discard the food.
STEAM
-
Fill the cooking pot with water to a depth of approx. 2 – 2.5 cm. This will give you approx. 30 minutes of steaming. Don’t add too much water otherwise the ingredients will be submerged.

-
Plug in the appliance.
-

-
Set a timer per your recipe on a separate device. Keep an eye on fresh vegetables and don’t overcook them. Aim for brightly colored and slightly softened but not limp. Refer to your specific recipe for more precise times.
-
When food is done, turn the knob to off or unplug it.
-
Unplug the appliance when not in use and always allow it to completely cool before cleaning and storing.

Serving Size: One 110g filet
Ingredients:
4x 110g salmon filets

2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. dried parsley
¼ tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1 tsp. lemon pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
Lemon slices for garnish, optional
Method:
- In the multi-cooker, place about 1.5cm of water on the bottom. Set the rack inside to see if you have the right amount of liquid. You do not want the water to touch the rack. Leave the rack inside the unit once you have the right amount of liquid.
