15

1. Cooking times can vary based on the ingredients, the temperature selected, and the temperature of the inner pot.

2. Always use non-metal utensils in the inner pot. Metal utensils may damage the nonstick coating of the inner pot.

3. For even browning, make sure that food is placed in an even layer on the bottom of the inner pot or on the roasting rack.

4. Cooked foods may not brown or get as golden on top compared to a conventional oven. Foods will become more browned on the bottom and crisp on the bottom and sides.

5. If you do not manually set a temperature and time, the cooker will automatically start at the default temperature and time.

6. When slow cooking, here are some tips to follow:

 Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce moisture in the cooker, remove the lid after cooking and program to simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.

 The lid is not a sealed fit. Do not lift lid during cooking unnecessarily as the temperature will drop each time the lid is opened. Each time you remove the lid, add an additional 10 minutes to the cooking time.

 Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10 hours on low and 4-6 hours on high.

 Some ingredients are not suitable for slow cooking. Pasta, seafood, milk, and cream should be added towards the end of the cooking time. Many things can affect how quickly a recipe will cook, water and fat content, initial temperature of the food and the size of the food.

 Food cut into small pieces will cook quicker. A degree of ‘trial and error’ will be required to fully optimize the potential of your slow cooker to cook foods the way you prefer.

 Root vegetables usually take longer to cook than meat, so try and arrange root vegetables in the lower half of the pot.

7. Most foods are suitable for slow cooking; however there are a few guidelines that need to be followed:

 Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as they take longer to cook than meat. They should be gently sautéed for 2-3 minutes before slow cooking.

Ensure that root vegetables are always placed at the bottom of the pot and all ingredients are immersed in the cooking liquid.

 Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking, since the slow cooking method does not allow fat to evaporate.

 If adapting an existing recipe from conventional cooking, you may need to cut down on the amount of liquid used. Liquid will not evaporate from the slow cooker to the same extent as with conventional cooking.

 Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the slow cooker.

 Do not put the glass lid in an oven, freezer, and microwave or on a gas/electrical hob.

16

The Infinity Cooker should be cleaned thoroughly after every use.

1. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.

2. Never immerse the main body housing in water or any other liquid.

3. To clean the main body housing and the control panel, wipe clean with a damp cloth.

CAUTION: Do not allow water to seep into the LCD control panel as that may damage the appliance.

4. Wash the inner pot, roasting rack, and the tempered glass lid with warm, soapy water. The inner pot may also be washed in the top shelf of the dishwasher. The roasting rack is not dishwasher safe.

5. Dry all parts after each use.

6. If food residue is stuck onto the inner pot, fill the pot with water and allow to soak overnight in soapy water and rinse the next day. DO

NOT use scouring pads on the inner pot. If scouring is necessary, use a non-abrasive cleanser or liquid detergent with a nylon pad or brush.

7. Please return the unit to MAXI-

MATIC, USA for any other servicing.

8. The glass lid is dishwasher safe once it has cooled down to room temperature. Do not place a hot or warm glass lid into a cold environment or it may result in cracking.

NOTE: After usage, the exterior of the cooking pot may produce a black film when cleaned. This is due to oxidation and occurs from normal usage.

In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract and vinegar. Pour into dry ingredients and stir until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Distribute batter evenly into prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Pour water into the Infinity

Cooker's Inner pot. Place Steam Rack into bottom of Inner pot. Place Muffin Tray onto the steam rack. (If you have additional steam rack and muffin trays you can stack them in the inner pot and eliminate having to bake 4 separate times). Set to BAKE at 350° for 10-

15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool.

Cream Cheese Frosting

6-oz cream cheese, room temperature 1-2 tbsp milk or cream

6 tbsp butter, room temperature

1 tsp vanilla extract

2-3 cups confectioners’ sugar

In a large mixing bowl, cream together cream cheese and butter. Beat in vanilla and milk

(start with 1 tbsp and add additional if you wish to thin the frosting), then add in the confectioners’ sugar gradually until the frosting reaches your desired consistency (make it a bit stiffer if you wish by adding additional sugar). Fill a pastry bag with a star tip, or a ziploc bag with the corner snipped off, and pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes.
