COOKING METHODS

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.
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 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.
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.
