MEAL MAKING

FAST ONE-POT

MEAL MAKING

Create easy, delicious meals in 30 minutes or less, all in the same pot. Prepare your favorite pasta
meals WITHOUT draining the pasta or using a colander, and healthier meals using lean meats and
vegetables, even from frozen! Use our Layered Meals Guide to develop your own creations!

TIPS & TRICKS

1. Dense root vegetables cook slower than many meat cuts or more tender vegetables. Cut
vegetables into smaller, thinner slices so theyll cook at the same rate as other ingredients.
2. The best meats prepared from freezer to table are leaner meats, such as boneless chicken
breasts, fish, and pork tenderloin.
3. It is best to use the bottom of the pot for pasta/rice/grains, and the roasting rack for meats
and vegetables.

ROASTING

Prepare juicier meats up to 40% faster by setting to oven, and simply adding water or your favorite
broth or herbs to the bottom of the pot. Simply sear your meats first using STOVETOP HIGH to
enhance color, flavor and texture; then place your meat on the roasting rack, add your favorite
liquid, set to OVEN, place lid on pot, and create the most delicious creations!

TIPS & TRICKS

1. Searing meats typically takes approximately 5-7 minutes per side. For best results, heat unit
first on STOVETOP HIGH for 2-3 minutes. Then sear meat on this setting look for a golden
brown color that begins to create a light crust.
2. In general, 1 cup of water provides you with approximately 10 minutes of steam time. Refer
to the chart in the back of the guide to help give you approximate water amounts for certain
cuts of meat and weights.
3. Add infusions to your water to make your meals more flavorful. Wine, broth, herbs, and
aromatic vegetables add extra flavor to your meals. Refer to the infusion guide for delicious
ideas.

STEAM INFUSED

BAKING

Prepare delicious desserts that are more moist and healthier! Steam baking only requires you to
add HALF the fat of traditional cake and loaf recipes! Simply add water to the bottom of the pot,
using 1 cup of water per 10 minutes of steam baking time. (Typical recipes take 3-4 cups of water.)
Place your filled baking pans on the roasting rack, and place in pot. Set to OVEN to your desired
temperature, place lid on pot, and start baking!

TIPS & TRICKS

1. A handy rule of thumb for steam baking: add a cup of
water for about every 10 minutes of baking time.
2. Use mini cupcake and muffin pans, mini springform pans,
and cakepop pans to make delicious low calorie desserts.
3. Enhance boxed cake mixes with flavorings (almond, citrus
zest) and lighter add-ins (mini chips, sprinkles) for creative
low calorie desserts. You only need to use half the fat!

SLOW COOKING

Sear your meats and/or saut your vegetables first to create delicious flavors and textures---then
add the rest of your ingredients, and slow cook, right in the same appliance!

TIPS & TRICKS

1. Certain dried spices intensify during slow cooking, such as chili pepper powders, cayenne and
red pepper flakes. Use half of your desired amount during cooking, and add more at end if
necessary.
2. Do not fill your unit more than full; cooking unit should be at least full.
3. Set the time for your slow cooked meal before you leave for work. The slow cooker will
automatically shift to KEEP WARM, to keep your meal delicious and at safe temperatures until
you are ready to enjoy!
