Slow Cooking - Crock-Pot Express Manual De Instrucciones

3. It is common for some steam to release through the Bobber Valve during the cooking cycle. This is part of normal
operation of the unit.
Note: The Multi-Cooker cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 250ml of liquid is used inside the
removable Cooking Pot.
Caution: During cooking, steam will build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the lid use an oven glove to protect your
hands.
RELEASING PRESSURE AT THE END OF COOKING
Natural Pressure Release Method: After cooking cycle is complete, let Multi-Cooker naturally release pressure
A.
through the Bobber Valve. Unit will gradually cool down on its own. Wait at least 10 minutes after cooking has
completed. If using a higher volume of food and liquid, this can take up to 20 minutes. And then, using a kitchen
utensil, gradually flick the tab on the Steam Release Valve to the "Release" position (see Figure 2). Do not place
any part of your hand or body over the steam outlet on top of the valve, as steam is very hot and can scald skin. The
pressure has been released when steam is no longer escaping from the valve and the Lid opens freely with minimal
force. Only then is it safe to remove the Lid and serve food.
Quick Pressure release method should be used with caution: Using a kitchen utensil, gradually flick the tab on

the Steam Release Valve to the "Release" setting (see Figure 2). Steam will release rapidly from the Steam Release
Valve. Do not place any part of your hand or body over the steam outlet on the top of the valve, as steam is very hot
and can scald skin. Use this method with caution when cooking liquid ingredients such as casseroles, soups, stocks,
beans and pulses. Never use this method when cooking rice, as rice tends to be very delicate. The pressure has been
released when steam is no longer escaping from the valve and the Lid opens freely with minimal force. Only then is it
safe to remove the Lid and serve food.

CAUTION:
1. Do not force the Lid to open. If it does not open easily this means that the Multi-Cooker is still under pressure.
2. During cooking, steam will build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect
your hand.
LOW Setting: This is suitable for simmering and slow cooking. Recommended cooking times in LOW are from 6 to 8 hours.
HIGH Setting: This is for faster cooking. Recommended cooking times in HIGH are from 2 to 4 hours.
KEEP WARM Setting: When cooking time is completed, the Multi-Cooker automatically switches to the KEEP WARM
setting to prevent overcooking and to keep your cooked food warm until serving - perfect for busy families, those on the
run and those who need flexible meal times. This setting is not hot enough to cook and should only be used to keep hot,
cooked food warm for serving.
Note: When slow cooking, the ideal fill level for your ingredients is between the 1/2 and 2/3 marks. Never fill the Cooking
Pot above the MAX line.
Due to the multi-functionality of the CSC051X appliance, its slow cooking function works in a slightly different way
to regular Crock-Pots. If using a recipe for a similar-sized Crock-Pot, you may need to increase the cooking time
for use with the CSC051X.
