SIMMER (CONT.)
To thicken a dish as the end of cooking, use the SIMMER
function and stir in a small amount of corn flour mixed with
water. Allow to simmer, stirring until thickened.
USING THE BOIL AND SIMMER FUNCTIONS
Place the Cooker on a flat, level surface. DO NOT USE THE
LID WITH THE BOIL OR SIMMER FUNCTIONS.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Cooker into a
wall outlet. The Cooker will beep, and the Display Screen will
illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
1. Place liquid inside the Cooking Pot prior to starting the
BOIL and SIMMER functions.
2. Select either the BOIL or SIMMER function and adjust the
temperature if necessary, using the + and - buttons.
3. Press START/STOP.
4. When the Cooker is pre-heating, "HEAt" will appear on
the Display Screen. The Status Bar will illuminate to track
preheat progress before cooking will begin. When the
temperature has been reached, the timer will start counting
down.
CAUTION: Never attempt to boil or simmer thick sauces. The
BOIL and SIMMER functions are intended for liquids only.
When boiling thick sauces, heat bubbles can form, become
trapped and burst, and can result in serious burns.
