• Measure or weigh dry rice accurately
and wash well with cold water until water
runs clear. Drain well and place into the
removable cooking bowl.
• Add corresponding water amount. Refer
to the cooking table for rice/grains and
legumes on the Sage webpage for more
information.
• After cooking, allow rice to stand in bowl
for 5 minutes before stirring and serving.
• Rice will double or triple in size after cooking.
Do not overfill the cooking bowl. The total
volume of uncooked rice and liquid should
not exceed the ½ level marking inside the
removable cooking bowl.
Risotto
• The PRESSURE COOK RISOTTO setting
is ideal for making creamy risotto, without
all the stirring and in a fraction of the time.
• Use the SAUTÉ/SEAR setting to soften
onions and other aromatics, as well as
deglaze the cooking bowl with wine.
• The key to creamy risotto is toasting the
rice grains before the liquid is added. Use
the SAUTÉ/SEAR setting to toast the rice,
stirring frequently, for 3–5 minutes or until
the edges become transparent and then
turn white.
• With little or no evaporation during
pressure cooking, it is important to keep
to the ratio of 1-part rice to 3 parts stock.
If adding a lot of vegetables to the risotto,
reduce stock by a third.
• Rice will double or triple in size after cooking.
Do not overfill the cooking bowl. The total
volume of uncooked rice and stock should
not exceed the ½ level marking inside the
removable cooking bowl.
OTHER PRESET SETTINGS:
SAUTÉ/SEAR
This preset has three levels: low sauté,
medium sauté and sear.
The temperature level will be indicated on
the Slow Cook temperature light indicator.
(see page 10 - letter M. - for control panel
illustration)
The SAUTÉ setting is ideal for softening and
caramelizing garlic, onions or vegetables
prior to pressure or slow cooking. The SAUTÉ
setting corresponds to the MED and LOW
temperature levels on your appliance.
The SEAR setting is designed to enhance and
deepen the taste of meals by using the same
cooking bowl for caramelizing and browning
foods before pressure or slow cooking.
The SEAR setting corresponds to the HIGH
temperature level on your appliance.
REDUCE
This preset has three levels: low, medium
and high.
The temperature level will be indicated on
the Slow Cook temperature light indicator.
(see page 10 - letter M. - for control panel
illustration)
The REDUCE function is ideal for thickening
and intensifying the flavor of sauces, syrups
and stocks.
STEAM
The STEAM setting is ideal for steaming
food such as vegetables, fish fillets and
dumplings. When steaming for more than
30 minutes, it is recommended to add 1 cup
(250ml) warm water into the cooking bowl
at 30-minute increments to ensure consistent
steaming performance.
To reduce condensation forming on the
outside surfaces of the lid and handle, it is
recommended to turn the pressure release
valve to the open position.
