COOKING GUIDELINES
Three cooking modes, Simmer, Low and High, give you the opportunity to
prepare a wider variety of dishes. You will usually want to use the Simmer
or Low setting for recipes that cook longer. If you’re starting a dish later in
the day, select the High setting to ensure that your food is cooked, warm,
and ready when you’d like to eat.
