Sear (430-450°F/221-232°C) Searing allows you to prepare meats for stews, soups, and other dishes. It uses high temperatures to cook the outside surfaces quickly, trapping flavor and juices inside. Slow Cook (Low or High) Slow Cook allows the Multi-Cooker to be used like a slow cooker, making it ideal for slow cooking BBQ, chili, and meatballs, to name just a few. Sauté (330-370°F/166-188°C) Sautéing is ideal for giving meats and vegetables a fresh, crisp flavor and texture. Use Sauté for creating oriental dishes, stir-fries, and breakfast foods such as sausage and scrambled eggs.

Keep Warm (165°F/74°C) Keep Warm mode is designed to keep foods at serving temperature after cooking has finished for up to 24 hours. Certain cooking methods and modes feature an automatic Keep Warm mode. For other cooking methods and modes, Keep Warm can be selected manually. IMPORTANT: Use Keep Warm only with fully cooked food.
