COOKING METHODS

For cooking and food preparation tips, see "Tips for great results" on how to get the
most from each cooking method. Also, refer to the cookbook for special tips and tricks
specially suited to each recipe, or visit www.kitchenaid.com/quickstart.
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.
Simmer (185–210°F/85–99°C)
Simmer is great for soups and stews
where gentle cooking helps yield rich,
hearty flavors.
SETTING THE TIMER FOR COOKING METHODS

2. Press > to scroll to your desired time.
Press START/ENTER to select.

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.
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.

complete, the Multi-Cooker will
beep 3 times and the light will
stay on without flashing.
NOTE: The timer will not affect the

countdown is complete, the cooking
method you've chosen will continue to
run and the heater will stay on unless
cancelled manually.
4. To clear the timer after a countdown
has already begun, press START/
ENTER.
