Quick Guide to Using Your Multi Cooker
This document serves as a recipe book and operational guide for the Russell Hobbs 11-in-1 Digital Multi Cooker. While primarily focused on recipes, it outlines the essential procedures for using the appliance's various functions safely and effectively.
Pressure Release Methods
Understanding how to release pressure is critical for safe operation. Always check the red float indicator before attempting to open the lid.
- Quick Release Method: Used to vent steam manually. Ensure the exhaust valve is turned to the venting position. Only open the lid once the red float indicator has dropped.
- Natural Release Method: Leave the unit on the KEEP WARM/CANCEL setting after the cooking cycle finishes. Allow the pressure to release naturally over time until the red float indicator drops.
Cooking Functions and Procedures
The multi cooker features several modes used in the provided recipes:
- Sauté: Used for browning meat or softening vegetables (onions, garlic) before pressure cooking. Always leave the lid off or open during this function unless specified.
- Steam: Requires the use of the trivet. Ensure there is enough water in the pot (below the trivet level) to generate steam.
- Slow Cook: Used for long-duration cooking (e.g., 4 hours). Ensure the lid is secured.
- Bake: Used for cakes and puddings. Requires the trivet and often a foil strap to lower the baking tin into the pot. Ensure the exhaust valve is in the sealed position.
- Yoghurt: A specific low-temperature function. Important: Do not lock the lid during the proofing stage, as the heat may kill the yeast or culture.
General Usage Tips
- Trivet Usage: Always use the provided trivet when steaming or baking to prevent food from touching the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Handling Hot Pots: Always use oven mitts when removing the cooking pot from the unit, especially after Sauté or long cooking cycles.
- Cleaning: Ensure the cooking pot is clean and dry before starting a new recipe, especially when switching between functions like Yoghurt and Sauté.

Milk catching on the bottom during Yoghurt mode
Stir the milk constantly with a rubber spatula while heating on the Sauté function.

Ensure the lid is NOT locked during the proofing stage; the unit may get too hot and kill the yeast if sealed.
