Sakura Multi-Function Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
3.5.3 STEAM
Using the provided steaming basket, you can steam different types of food. You can cook rice and steam food at the
same time.
The default cooking time for the ‘STEAM’ setting is 10 minutes. You can adjust this up to 1 hour in 5 minute intervals
using the ‘Hr’ or ‘Min’ buttons once you have selected the ‘STEAM’ setting and it is blinking on the display. There will be
a countdown on the display when the water has been heated to the appropriate temperature; you can use cold or hot
water. Using hot water rather than cold water helps speed up the heating process for the steam setting.
See Section 5, page 13 for a guide to steaming
3.5.4 SLOW COOK
For cooking stews and other dishes like curries, dhal, or other pulses/grains select the ‘SLOW COOK’ setting.
The default cooking time for the ‘SLOW COOK’ setting is 2 hours. You can adjust this up to 8 hours using the ‘Hr’ or
‘Min’ buttons once you have selected the ‘SLOW COOK’ setting and it is blinking on the display. When the ‘SLOW COOK’
cycle starts, the appliance heats the contents of the inner bowl to a high temperature (you will hear bubbling from the
liquid), it then switches to a lower temperature for the slow cooking. This is the same as the ‘auto’ setting on a
conventional slow cooker.
Once the cooking cycle is complete, the appliance will make a sound and will automatically switch to ‘KEEP WARM’.
IMPORTANT –
Do not exceed the maximum liquid marks on the inside of the inner bowl.
3.5.5 CRUST
For cooking Persian style ‘Tahdig’ rice with a crust, select the ‘CRUST’ setting.
The default cooking time for the ‘CRUST’ setting is 1.5 hours. You can adjust this down to 1 hour or up to 2 hours using
the ‘Hr’ or ‘Min’ buttons once you have selected the ‘CRUST’ setting and it is blinking on the display. After a period of
time, the appliance will make a ‘beep’ and you can open the lid to add any additional ingredients. You then close the lid
to continue cooking.
Once the cooking cycle is complete, the appliance will make a sound and will automatically switch to ‘KEEP WARM’.
3.5.6 CAKE
For cooking delicious cakes, select the ‘CAKE’ setting. The cake setting on your Sakura makes delicious and moist
cakes. Please see section 6 on page 17 for more detailed instructions for cake baking.
