Deglazing
Deglazing is the process of adding a liquid to a hot pan, releasing all of
the delicious, caramelized pieces stuck to the bottom.
1. Remove food from inner pot.
2. Add water, broth, or wine.
3. Use wooden spoon or silicone spatula to loosen food stuck to
bottom of the inner cooking pot.
Sautéing before Pressure or Slow Cooking
Quite often, you’ll want to sauté foods to brown them before further
cooking them.
1. Sauté ingredients.
2. Press Cancel.
You can deglaze the inner cooking pot now before switching to Pressure Cook or Slow
Cook (see Deglazing Inner Pot)
3. Select from the Smart Program.
SLOW COOKING
Slow Cook lets you make your favorite simmering and stewing recipes —
just like grandma used to make. This program does not use pressure to
cook food. Make sure steam release is set to Venting or use a glass lid
with a venting hole.
