How do I properly season the inner pot before using it for the first time on my Drew & Cole CleverChef multi cooker?

To ensure optimal performance and flavor of your meals, we recommend properly seasoning the inner pot of your Drew & Cole CleverChef multi cooker before using it for the first time. Here's how you can do it:

1. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the inner pot. Set the multi cooker to the Sauté function and heat the oil until it begins to shimmer. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and 1 tablespoon of black pepper to the pot and stir them into the oil. Let the seasoning mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the inner pot from the multi cooker and rinse it thoroughly with warm water. Dry the inner pot with a clean towel or let it air dry before using it to prepare your first meal in the CleverChef multi cooker. By following these simple steps, you'll help prevent any unwanted odors or flavors from affecting your future dishes and ensure that your CleverChef multi cooker performs at its best.

How do I properly use the sauté function on my Drew & Cole CleverChef multi cooker?

To use the sauté function on your Drew & Cole CleverChef multi cooker, follow these steps:

1. Make sure your multi cooker is unplugged and the lid is removed. Press the "Sauté" button to turn on the function. The display will show "SAUTÉ". Add oil or butter to the bottom of the cooking pot. Use a spatula, spoon, or other utensil to cook your ingredients as you normally would in a pan. To adjust the heat level, press the "-" and "+" buttons to increase or decrease the temperature. The default heat setting is medium (170°F/76°C). Once you're done cooking, use a spoon or spatula to transfer your food to another container or leave it in the pot. Press the "Off" button to turn off the sauté function and allow the multi cooker to cool down before removing the pot. Use the included utensils to safely remove the cooking pot from the base unit. Remember, always use caution when using a hot appliance and follow safe handling practices to prevent burns or accidents.

How do I properly season food in the Drew & Cole CleverChef multi cooker?

To properly season food in the Drew & Cole CleverChef multi cooker, follow these steps:

1. Heat the multi cooker to the desired temperature using the sauté function. This will allow you to brown your meat or vegetables before adding any liquids. Add a small amount of oil to the bottom of the pot, enough to coat it evenly. Add your seasoning of choice. You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or any other desired spices. Be sure to distribute them evenly over the food. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir the seasoning into the food, ensuring that every piece is coated evenly. Allow the seasoned food to cook for a few minutes before adding any liquids. This will help the flavors develop and become more pronounced. Once you've added your liquids (such as broth or wine), stir the pot again to combine everything. Adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired, before setting the multi cooker to the appropriate cooking function. Remember, when seasoning food in a multi cooker, it's important not to overcrowd the pot. This can cause steaming instead of searing and prevent your food from getting that crispy brown crust you want. Instead, work in batches if necessary and use a spatula to move the food around as needed to ensure even browning.
