Pressure Cook

Use the Pressure Cook function for rapid cooking of meals. Ensure the pressure lid is securely locked and the pressure release valve is in the SEAL position. HyperHeat technology builds pressure quickly to speed up cooking time.

Slow Cook

For tender, flavorful results over an extended period, select the Slow Cook function. Use the pressure lid with the valve in the VENT position, or a compatible glass lid (not included).

Sear/Sauté

This function allows you to brown meats and sauté vegetables directly in the SimpliServe Pot before other cooking methods, building rich flavors. The wide 9.5" diameter surface gives you more room to sear and sauté evenly without overcrowding.
