Mode Settings
The SecretChef has two cooking modes, Slow
Cook or Browning.
Slow Cooking
Slow Cooking achieves flavour filled meals,
and tender moist meats cooked to perfection.
As the name suggests, meals are cooked over
a long period of time. Slow Cooking provides
healthy, simple and economical cooking.
It requires minimal supervision, short
preparation times and quick clean up times.
The Slow Cook mode has three convenient
heat settings – LOW, HIGH and WARM. Scroll
through the settings available by pressing the
SLOW COOK button.
LOW Setting. This is suitable for simmering
and slow cooking.
HIGH Setting. This is for faster cooking.
Typically 1 hour on HIGH = approximately
2 - 2.5 hours on LOW.
KEEP WARM Setting. When cooking time
is completed, the SecretChef 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.
Browning
The Browning or Frypan mode has five heat
settings 100°C, 120°C, 150°C, 180°C
and ‘Sear’, making the SecretChef an ideal
everyday multifunctional cooker. On the
browning mode you can change the heat
setting depending on the food that you are
cooking, and your style of cooking. Use it
to boil, shallow fry, stir fry, sauté and of
course even sear. Browning meat prior to slow
cooking not only gives your food great colour,
it also seals in the juices and flavours and
keeps the meat tender.
Scroll through the heat settings available by
pressing the BROWN button.
