  • 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.

SOUS VIDE

Bag/pouch type Advantages Disadvantages
`Zipper lock’ plastic bag suitable for food Inexpensive ‘Single use’ only
Silicon bag for sous vide cooking Can be reused and be cleaned in a
dishwasher Can be more difficult to remove air
Vacuum pack machine Creates an almost perfect vacuum and seals the bag at the
same time. Higher initial cost

Each bag is ‘single use’ only

PREPARATION

Place the ingredients into your chosen bag or pouch. Use one bag per portion. Try to keep portions similar in size. Before sealing the bag, you need to remove as much air out of it as possible.

For `Zipper lock’ style bags:

  1. Hand Method (fig. C)
    Place the bag onto a flat surface and, using your hand, carefully push out as much of the air from the bag as you can. Be careful not to squash or damage the ingredients when you do this. Then, close the seal on the bag.

  2. Water Immersion Method (fig. D)
    Fill a container big enough to hold the zip bag and ingredients with cold water. Put the ingredients into the bag and close the seal almost all of the way,  just leaving a  small opening at one corner. Slowly push the bag into the water leaving the unsealed corner sticking up out of the water. When you do this, make sure that no water accidentally enters the bag. As you immerse the bag, the water will push almost all of the remaining air out. Finally, seal the corner and remove the bag from the container.

|
---|---

For Silicon bags:
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the bag.
For Vacuum pack machines:
A purpose-made vacuum sealer suitable for food use is perfect for sous vide cooking. Use the correct bags as recommended by the manufacturer, and follow the instructions that come with the machine.

USING THE SOUS VIDE MODE

  1. Add hot water and fill the cooking pot to approximately halfway. Use water from the hot water tap (not boiling). Try and get the temperature of the water as close as you can to the temperature you are cooking at as this will cut down any unnecessary waiting time. Use a mixture of hot and cold water as required. If the water that you put in the cooker is at a temperature that is very different from the temperature you will be cooking at, the appliance will take a lot longer to either heat the water up or cool it down to the selected temperature.

  2. Plugin the appliance. The main control display will flash “—-“. This indicates that the heat is off and the appliance is ready to be programmed.

  3. Put the bagged food into the cooking pot ensuring that it is fully submerged. Add additional water if needed.

  4. Cover with the glass lid.

  5. Press the Sous Vide button.

  6. The default cooking temperature is set at 57°C. To change the temperature, use the buttons. The range is approx. 38 to 96°C.

  7. Next, press the Time button. The default cooking time is 1 hour. To adjust the cooking time, use the and buttons. The maximum cooking time is 20 hours.

  8. Press the I/O button. The display will stop flashing and the cooking pot will start to heat up.

  9. At this point, the water will start heating up to the target temperature. The heating-up time varies. The bagged food can stay in the water during the heating up time as long as the set temperature is 55°C or above. The cooking cycle timer will only begin to count down once the water has reached the target temperature.

  10. When the cooking time has ended, the unit will beep three times and automatically switch to the keep warm setting. The display will flash and start counting up from zero (00:00) to 4 hours (04:00).

  11. After the keep warm setting has been on for 4 hours, the unit will stop heating and return to the default display: “—-“.
    NOTE: Do not keep foods on the keep warm setting for more than 4 hours.

  12. Unplug the appliance when not in use and always allow it to completely cool before cleaning and storing.

Finishing Steps
Some foods can be eaten straight after cooking. For steaks and other meats, searing after cooking is essential for the best flavor and texture.

  • Use your multi-cooker’s Sear/Sauté function to sear the edges and sides of the meat to your preference (up to 2 minutes per side).

NOTES ON COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY
To minimise the risks of illness due to improperly cooked food, please note the following:

  • Cooking food at the right temperature and for the correct length of time will ensure that any harmful bacteria are killed. Always check the advice on food packaging and follow the cooking instructions provided.
  • For food safety reasons, food cooked below 55ºC (e.g. steak) should not be cooked for longer than 2 hours and must be seared on the outside.
  • Fish is often cooked at temperatures lower than 55ºC and if you intend to do this, it is important that you buy fish that is classed as Sushi-grade (i.e. fish that can be eaten raw).
  • Do not take the meat out early. Let it cook at least for the minimum length of time on the chart at the correct temperature.
  • It is OK to leave the meat in longer than the minimum time range. Fish is the exception to this rule. Fish will get mushy if overcooked using the sous vide function.
  • Always check that food is correctly cooked through (e.g. for pork, poultry, etc. till the juices run clear). Cook fish till the flesh is opaque throughout.
  • Adding chilled ingredients straight from the refrigerator can rapidly decrease the temperature of the water and therefore significantly add to the overall cooking time. In a similar way, adding a lot of ingredients to the cooking pot can also lower the water temperature.

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

  1. Add the ingredients to the cooking pot and cover with the glass lid.

  2. Plugin the appliance. The main control display will flash “—-“. This indicates that the heat is off and the appliance is ready to be programmed.

  3. Press the Slow Cook High or Slow Cook Low button as desired.

  4. The display will show a flashing default time. For the low setting, the default cooking time is
    8 hours and for the high setting the default time is 4 hours. To adjust the cooking time, use the and buttons. The maximum cooking time is 20 hours.

  5. Press the I/O button to begin cooking. The display will stop flashing and the “:” between the numbers will flash, indicating the unit is cooking.

  6. When the cooking time has ended, the unit will beep three times and automatically switch to the keep warm setting. The display will flash and start counting up from zero (00:00) to 4 hours (04:00).

  7. After the keep warm setting has been on for 4 hours, the unit will stop heating and return to the default display: “—-“.
    NOTE: Do not keep foods on the keep warm setting for more than 4 hours.

  8. Unplug the appliance when not in use and always allow it to completely cool before cleaning and storing.

Making Adjustments During Cooking
You may adjust the time during the cooking cycle by pressing the and buttons. After 3 seconds of no buttons being pressed, the numbers will stop flashing and the new time for cooking will begin.

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 multi-cooker or 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 in 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 about 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 potato, carrot, turnip, 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.

Oven cooking time Time on low (hours) Time on high (hours)
15-30 minutes 4-6 1-2
30-60 minutes 6-8 2-4
1-3 hours 8-12 4-7

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, and continue for the remaining amount of time that has been programmed. If the power is interrupted for longer than 2 hours the display will flash “—-” to indicate that the food should be discarded. If you are not sure how long the appliance has been off, discard the food.

STEAM

  1. ****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.
  2. Place the steaming rack into the cooking pot (fig. E). Add ingredients such as fresh vegetables cut to a uniform size to the cooking pot and cover with glass lid.
  3. Plugin the appliance. The main control display will flash “—-“. This indicates that the heat is off and the appliance is ready to be programmed.

Drain the orzo once it is cooked- you can leave it in the strainer while you finish the rest of the recipe. Set it aside.

  3. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the multi-cooker, stir to combine. sauté for about a minute. Add the spinach. Stir to combine. The spinach will wilt down considerably.

LEMON HERB STEAMED SALMON
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 6-9 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filet
Total Time : 11-14 minutes
Servings: 4
Serving Size : One 110g filet
Ingredients:
4x 110g salmon filets
2 tsp. dried dill
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:

  1. In the multi-cooker, place about 1.5cm of water on the bottom. Set the roasting 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.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the spices.
  3. Set the filets on a work surface and sprinkle the spices over the filets.
  4. Set the seasoned fillets on the rack in the multi-cooker. Turn on the Steam function and put the lid on the multi-cooker.
  5. Let steam until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 63°C as indicated on a cooking thermometer, for about 6 minutes. If the filets are thin, then it will take less time. If the water starts to boil rapidly before the salmon is cooked, turn the lid to the side so some of the steam releases. After a minute or two, you can put the lid back on.
  6. Set on a plate and place a sliced lemon, if desired, on top of the filet. Serve with Orzo with spinach, tomato, and zucchini for a complete meal.
