Cooking menus overview continued
Slow Cooking
Slow Cooking achieves flavour filled meals,
and tender moist meats cooked to perfection.
As the name suggests, meals are not cooked
under pressure but 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.
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 Aviva 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.
The Slow Cook menu does not require
pressure to cook. It cooks similar to standard
slow cookers and uses low temperatures
and longer cooking times to achieve tender,
flavoursome meals.
Capacity. When the unit is used on the Slow
Cook menu, the maximum capacity to use
is the MAX PC marking on the inside the
cooking pan.
Rice Cooking
When cooking rice, use the ‘Rice’ menu.
This is suitable for all types of rice including
White and Brown rice.
The Rice menu cooks under pressure for
faster cooking. When using the Rice Menu,
for rice measurements use the Sunbeam
Rice measuring cup included with your Aviva
Pressure Cooker.
Capacity. When the unit is used on the Rice
menu, the maximum capacity is the 12 CUP
marking inside the cooking pan.
Sunbeam Rice Cup
Use the Sunbeam rice cup provided for
all rice dishes. Rice cup measurements
are not the same as metric cups. One rice
cup is approximately 2/3 standard cup
measurement.
Steaming
The Steam menu is perfect for gently
steaming fish and vegetables. It is
pre-programmed to use the Low pressure
cooking setting. When steaming, use the
cooking rack.
The Steam menu does not cook under
pressure as foods tend to be more delicate.
Capacity. When the unit is used on the
Steam menu, the maximum capacity of liquid
should be just under the rack wires, so that
the liquid is not touching the food.
