Note: The cooking time and water needed to cook your lentils may vary
from one variety of lentils to another. You can refer to the following
cooking board to guide you or refer to the instructions provided in your
pack of lentils.
If you wish to add salt, it is recommended that you add it once the lentils
are cooked or when the multicooker bips a 1st time in automatic mode
before the timer turns on, at 3/4 of the cooking process.
Cooking TIPS:
• Wash your lentils thoroughly with cold water and remove any debris
before cooking.
• Do not add salt to the cooking water as it may harden the outer part
of the lentil.
• To have tastier result, you can still add some herbs, cloves or bouquet
garni before closing the lid.
• Very soft-cooked lentils can be used for soups, casseroles, curries,
vegetable mash while less-soft-cooked ones can perfect for salad.
Important: Please make sure to have your lentils well-cooked.
Under-cooked lentils can be difficult to digest and provoke gastric
distress.
