TIPS FOR PRESSURE & SLOW COOKING
Soup
•
The PRESSURE & SLOW COOK SOUP
setting is suitable for cooking a variety of
soups from light broths to hearty minestrone
to pureed vegetable soups.
•
Use the SAUTÉ/SEAR settings to brown meat
and soften aromatics prior to cooking.
•
To shorten the pressurizing time, add cold
water/stock to bowl while still in the SAUTÉ/
SEAR setting and allow the water to come to a
simmer before pressure cooking.
•
Do not overfill the cooking bowl. The total
volume of soup should not exceed the
‘MAX’ level marking inside the removable
cooking bowl.
Stock
•
The PRESSURE & SLOW COOK STOCK
setting is suitable for making all kinds of stock,
including chicken, beef and vegetable.
•
To make a brown stock, use the SAUTÉ/SEAR
setting to brown bones and vegetables prior to
pressure or slow cooking.
•
Vegetables such as onions, carrots and celery
should be cut into large pieces. This will help
keep the stock clear and make it easier to
strain at the end of cooking.
