The Catler Multi Chef is designed specifi cally
for fl avour layering. A technique professional
chefs use to enhance and deepen the
taste of meals by using the same pan for
browning onions, searing meats and creating
casseroles, curries, soups and bolognaise.
For this reason, we have now developed
a SLOW COOK with a SAUTÉ|SEAR setting to
caramelise vegetables and sear meats before
commencing the slow cooker function.
Following is a guide to help simplify the
process of slow cooking, allowing you to
obtain optimum results from your multi
cooker. We have also included helpful hints
for successful slow cooking. For recipes, go to
recipe section in this instruction book.
Preparing meat and poultry
Select the freshest cuts when purchasing
meat. Trim the meat or poultry of any visible
excess fat. If possible, purchase chicken
portions without the skin. Otherwise, the
slow cooking process will result in extra
liquid being formed from the fat as it melts.
For casserole type recipes, cut the meat
into cubes, approximately 4cm to 5cm.
Slow cooking allows less tender cuts of
meat to be used. The bones can be left in
meat or poultry. This imparts a good fl avour
and helps to keep the meat tender during
cooking.
Suitable meat cuts for slow cooking
Beef chuck, skirt, round steak, boneless shin
(gravy) beef, bone-in-shin (osso bucco), tri
tip.
Lamb shanks, drumsticks (frenched shanks),
neck chops, boned out forequarter or
shoulder.
Veal diced leg, shoulder/forequarter chops
and steaks, neck chops, knuckle (osso bucco).
Pork leg steaks, diced belly, diced shoulder,
boneless loin chops.
Chicken pieces bone in (thigh cutlets/
drumsticks).
Chicken thigh fi llets.
Preparing vegetables
Vegetables should be cut into even-sized
pieces to ensure more even cooking. Frozen
vegetables must be thawed before adding to
other foods cooking in the multi cooker.
