Product Information

This latter function is important for keeping food warm so you can enjoy a hot dinner upon your return home. If you are hosting a dinner party, it’s also a great way to keep courses warm before you serve them. Temperature Settings and Pressure Cooking It doesn't matter if you want to pressure cook, slow cook, steam, sauté, sous-vide or multicook. With its 4.8-litre capacity, the 6-in-1 digital cooker can easily handle meals for the whole family. Below, you will find a breakdown of the key areas of spec to keep in mind when buying a quality multi cooker. Try to opt for recipes that require smaller overall quantities of them if you are to use such ingredients. If they are not an integral part of your recipe, consider preparing them separately from ingredients readied in your multi cooker and then combine at a later point.

Another standout design feature of the Instant Pot Duo is its user-friendly control panel. The panel itself is significantly larger than ones you would find with other multi cooker appliances, granting you easy access to no less than 14 pre-set programmes and common cooking selections. These days our kitchens are brimming with all manner of equipment and gadgetry so it’s rare to find a piece of kitchen kit that can seriously streamline your everyday cooking. Welcome to the wonderful world of multicookers. As a general rule, keep away from ingredients that are more delicate in consistency and smaller in size.

Cooking Timers on Multi Cookers While it’s not a brand that immediately springs to mind when you’re thinking about buying a multicooker, in use, I felt that the Cleverchef Pro cooked just as well as some of the other more premium models available and it certainly doesn’t feel like it’s missing any functionality.
