STEAMING
Steaming is one of the healthiest methods of cooking. No butter or oil is required and
fewer nutrients are lost in the steaming process. Four cups/one quart of water is used
for basic steaming.

BROWN/SAUTÉ
Use Brown/Sauté as you would a skillet or sauté pan on the stovetop for a variety of
recipes. Prepare a quickly sautéed skillet dish, or brown food right in the pot as the first
step in many braised or slow-cooked family favorites.
To reheat foods, use Brown/Sauté at 350°F and stir until all ingredients are warmed
through. Then switch to Warm on the Slow Cook function until ready to serve.
