STEP-BY-STEP COOKING MODESCOOKING METHODS

Simmer (185–210°F/85–99°C)

Simmer is great for soups and stews where a

gentle cooking helps yield rich, hearty flavors.

Slow Cook (Low or High)

Slow Cook allows the Multi-Cooker to be

used like a slow cooker, making it ideal for

slow cooking BBQ, chili, and meatballs, to

name just a few.

Sear (430–450°F/221–232°C)

Searing allows you to prepare meats for

stews, soups, and other dishes. It uses high

temperatures to cook the outside surfaces

quickly, trapping flavor and juices inside.

Sauté (330–370°F/166–188°C)

Sautéing is ideal for giving meats and

vegetables a fresh, crisp flavor and texture.

Use sauté for creating oriental dishes, stir-

fries, and breakfast foods such as sausage and

scrambled eggs.

Boil/Steam (192–232°F/89–111°C)

Use Boil/Steam to prepare a variety of foods

such as hot cereals, steam shrimp, or to heat

delicate foods such as fish with indirect heat.

Keep Warm (165°F/74°C)

Keep Warm mode is designed to keep foods

at serving temperature after cooking has

finished for up to 24 hours. Certain cooking

methods and modes feature an automatic

Keep Warm mode. For other cooking

methods and modes, Keep Warm can be

selected manually

IMPORTANT: Use Keep Warm only with

fully cooked food. Keep Warm is intended

to keep fully cooked food at serving

temperature.

For cooking and food preparation tips, see “See Tips for great results” on how to get the

most of each cooking method. Also, refer to the cookbook for special tips and tricks specially

suited to each recipe, or visit www.kitchenaid.com/quickstart.
