Multicooker Cooking Tips

Adjust Liquid Levels

Multicookers retain more moisture than traditional cooking. Reduce liquid by 25-30% for best results.

Layer Your Ingredients

Place harder vegetables at the bottom and delicate items on top for even cooking.

Don't Overfill

Fill your multicooker no more than 2/3 full to allow proper steam circulation.

Natural Release

Allow pressure to release naturally for 10-15 minutes for tender, juicy results.
