OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SLOW COOKING
Sometimes it's a desired option to slow cook dinners instead of pressure cooking. The "SMART
CANNER" allows this option. Simply add your favorite ingredients to the inner pot. Remember
not to exceed the 4/5 height rule for filling the cook pot.
1.
Press the SLOW COOK function button on the front panel.
2.
The Cooking Time display will show 30 minutes, which can be
adjusted up (+) or down (-), to a max of 600 minutes (10 hours).
3.
Close the LID, turn the LID about an 1/8 turn counter clockwise
into the "Closed-Lid" position.
4.
Set the top limiting valve function to EXHAUST so the pressure
does not build up inside the cooker while slow cooking. You
will still seal in liquids for moisture to create the perfect slow
cooking environment.
5.
Press START" to begin cooking. The "Smart Canner" will beep
three times once the time has finished.
HINTS: Consider browning meats that will be slow cooked first by using the BROWN function on
the SMART CANNER. It is usually not necessary to add cooking oil or butter to the bottom of the
INNER POT when browning meats, but a small amount of liquids such as water, soup stock or
fruit juices can help when SLOW COOKING. There are many resources for slow cooking recipes,
which can easily be adapted to use with the "Smart Canner".
BROWNING
The SMART CANNER is versatile enough to handle browning meats prior to slow
cooking or pressure cooking. Browning meats help release and develop the flavors you
expect and appreciate. The browning function on the SMART CANNER acts similar to a
standard fry pan.
1.
Press the BROWN function on the control panel.
NOTE: DO NOT close the LID while browning.
2.
Place meat into the INNER POT. It is not necessary
butter or cooking oil, unless desired for flavor.
3.
Turn and brown the meat as you would as if using a fry pan.
NOTE: You can brown an entire roast, or cut up meat into
smaller pieces before browning for stews.
