HOW TO SLOW COOK

SEAR setting

Searing in the multi cooker may take a little extra time and whilst not strictly necessary, the rewards are evident in the end result.

The cooking bowl keeps the heat stable and uniform allowing the meat to brown and form an even crust. Plus searing seals in the moisture, intensifi es the fl avour and provides more tender results.

1. Ensure exterior of the removable cooking bowl is clean before placing it in the housing (this will ensure proper contact with the inner cooking surface).

2. Plug power cord into a 230V or 240V power outlet. The START|CANCEL button and RISOTTO button surround will illuminate in white.

3. Press the SAUTÉ|SEAR button, the button surround will illuminate white.

Press the START|CANCEL button to activate the setting, the button surround will illuminate red.

4. Cover with lid and allow to pre-heat for approximately 2-3 minutes (do not preheat for longer than 5 minutes).

5. Add oil/butter and allow to heat/melt for approximately 1 minute with the lid on.

6. Always sear meat and poultry in small batches. Cover with lid and cook, stirring occasionally until food is evenly browned. Remove from cooking bowl.

Slow Cook Settings section below.

Slow Cook Settings

The multi cooker has two slow cook settings:

Low and High. Use the recommended guidelines below to determine cooking time and heat settings and use recipes in this instruction book. Dishes can be prepared well in advance and cooking time regulated so that food is ready to serve at a convenient time.

A general rule of thumb for most slow cooked meat and vegetable recipes is:

Setting Cooking Time

Your favourite traditional recipes can also be easily adapted to this slow cooker.

Simply halve the amount of liquid and increase the cooking time.

These cooking times are approximates only and times can vary depending on ingredients, quantities in recipes and whether the cooking bowl and its ingredients are hot from searing.

NOTE

As a guide meats such as chicken or small pieces of meat will have best results when cooked on high for 3-4 hours.

Larger pieces of meat such as lamb shanks will have best results when cooked on low for

6-7 hours.

Cooking Times (with Searing)

When the SAUTÉ|SEAR setting is used prior to slow cooking, cooking times will be shortened slightly. Check for doneness intermittently during cooking.

Low or High Slow Cook Settings

1. Add all ingredients into the cooking bowl, ensuring denser foods are spread evenly across the bottom of the bowl and not heaped to one side and the liquid level is between MIN and MAX markings on the bowl.

2. Place the glass lid into position.

3. Press the LOW SLOW COOK OR HIGH

SLOW COOK button, then press the

START|CANCEL button to activate the setting. The START|CANCEL button surround will illuminate red and cooking will commence.

OPERATING YOUR MULTI CHEF RC 4010

4. Allow to cook until the ready beeps sound. The unit then automatically switches to KEEP WARM setting.

5. The multi cooker will remain on the

KEEP WARM setting for 5 hours before switching OFF.

The Catler Multi Chef is designed specifi cally for fl avour layering. A technique professional chefs use to enhance and deepen the taste of meals by using the same pan for browning onions, searing meats and creating casseroles, curries, soups and bolognaise.

For this reason, we have now developed a SLOW COOK with a SAUTÉ|SEAR setting to caramelise vegetables and sear meats before commencing the slow cooker function.

Following is a guide to help simplify the process of slow cooking, allowing you to obtain optimum results from your multi cooker. We have also included helpful hints for successful slow cooking. For recipes, go to recipe section in this instruction book.

Suitable meat cuts for slow cooking

Beef chuck, skirt, round steak, boneless shin

(gravy) beef, bone-in-shin (osso bucco), tri tip.

Lamb shanks, drumsticks (frenched shanks), neck chops, boned out forequarter or shoulder.

Veal diced leg, shoulder/forequarter chops and steaks, neck chops, knuckle (osso bucco).

Pork leg steaks, diced belly, diced shoulder, boneless loin chops.

Chicken pieces bone in (thigh cutlets/ drumsticks).

Chicken thigh fi llets.

Preparing vegetables

Vegetables should be cut into even-sized pieces to ensure more even cooking. Frozen vegetables must be thawed before adding to other foods cooking in the multi cooker.

Preparing meat and poultry

Select the freshest cuts when purchasing meat. Trim the meat or poultry of any visible excess fat. If possible, purchase chicken portions without the skin. Otherwise, the slow cooking process will result in extra liquid being formed from the fat as it melts.

For casserole type recipes, cut the meat into cubes, approximately 4cm to 5cm.

Slow cooking allows less tender cuts of meat to be used. The bones can be left in meat or poultry. This imparts a good fl avour and helps to keep the meat tender during cooking.

Use the white rice cooking tables. Mix well.

Arborio rice

Arborio rice is short round-grained pearly rice often used for Italian risotto cooking.

Use the brown rice cooking tables.

Jasmine rice

Jasmine rice is fragrant long grain rice.

Use the white rice cooking tables.

• Add a little extra water for fl uffi a little less water for fi rmer rice.

• Some rice varieties may require more water for cooking, such as wild rice blends,

Arborio rice or short grain rice. Follow the directions on the packet or use the brown rice cooking table.

TIP

Quinoa

Quinoa is an ancient South American grain that is high in protein with fl uff y, creamy and slightly crunchy texture. Use the brown rice cooking tables.

Sushi

Sushi rice is short grained rice used in

Japanese cooking. Use the brown rice cooking tables.

Basmati rice

Wild rice

It is not recommended to cook wild rice alone in the multi cooker as it requires a substantial amount of water. It is possible to cook wild rice as a blend with white or brown rice.

STEAMING

Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value when cooked in the multi cooker. Foods may be steamed by placing food in the stainless steel steaming tray over stock or water and covering with the glass lid. Keep the glass lid on while steaming food unless the recipe or chart specifi cally states to remove the lid. By removing the lid unnecessarily steam is lost and the cooking time will be extended.

1. Measure 3 rice scoops or more of water or stock and pour into the removable cooking bowl. Use up to a maximum of 6 rice scoop cups of water.

2. Place food to be steamed directly into the stainless steel steaming tray and insert into the removable cooking bowl.

(Refer to the Steaming Charts on pages

20-22 for approximate cooking times).

3. Place removable cooking bowl with the steaming tray into housing and cover with the glass lid.

4. Plug power cord into a 230V or 240V power outlet. The START|CANCEL button and RISOTTO button surround will illuminate in white.

5. Press the RICE|STEAM setting then press the START|CANCEL button to activate the setting. The START|CANCEL button surround will illuminate red and cooking will commence.

6. When steaming is complete, the ready beeps will sound and the multi cooker will automatically switch to the KEEP

WARM setting.

7. If no further steaming is required, press the START|CANCEL button to cease operation and turn the multi cooker off at the power outlet and then unplug power cord. Allow to cool before cleaning.

Keep the glass lid on while steaming food unless the recipe or chart specifi cally states to remove the lid. (By removing the lid unnecessarily, steam is lost and the cooking time will be extended.)

NOTE

Do not let the removable cooking bowl boil dry during steaming.

NOTE

Hot liquid can be added during the steaming process.

NOTE

Hints and tips for steaming vegetables

• Smaller pieces will steam faster than larger pieces.

• Try to keep vegetables to a standard size to ensure even cooking.

• Fresh or frozen vegetables may be steamed.

• If steaming frozen vegetables, do not thaw.

• The size and shape of vegetables, as well as personal taste, may call for adjustments to the cooking time. If softer vegetables are required, allow extra cooking time.

• Do not allow water or stock to reach the stainless steel tray. The steaming will not be eff ective.

Always lift and remove the lid carefully, angling it away from yourself to avoid scalding from escaping steam.
