Triple Fusion Heat Technology

This technology combines three heating elements for comprehensive cooking:

• Bottom Heat: Locks in flavor and allows for direct searing and sautéing in the pot.
• Side Heat: Provides uniform temperature distribution for even cooking, especially beneficial for slow-cooked recipes.
• Steam Heat: Helps keep ingredients juicy and prevents meals from drying out.

Cooking Functions

1. Slow Cook: Ideal for tenderizing meats and developing rich flavors over extended periods. Select 'Slow Cook', set desired temperature and time, then press START/STOP.
2. Sear/Sauté: Use the bottom heating elements to brown proteins and sauté vegetables directly in the cooking pot, eliminating the need for a separate stovetop pan. Select 'Sear/Sauté', set desired temperature, then press START/STOP.



3. Keep Warm: Maintains food at a serving temperature after cooking is complete. This function can be manually selected or may activate automatically after certain cooking programs.
4. Sous Vide: Precision cooking for perfectly cooked ingredients. Place food in a sealed bag, immerse in water in the pot, select 'Sous Vide', set temperature and time, then press START/STOP.
5. Braise: Combines searing and slow cooking to create tender, flavorful dishes.
6. Proof: Provides a controlled warm environment for dough to rise, ideal for baking. Select 'Proof', set desired temperature and time, then press START/STOP.
