Understanding your Sunbeam  
Multicooker  
Glass Lid  
Cast-in element  
With the lid in place, the multicooker can be  
used as an oven, giving you the versatility to  
roast pieces of beef, lamb and chicken.  
The element is completely cast into the heavy  
duty base for faster superior heating and a  
longer element life.  
The lid also retains heat and moisture when  
simmering food such as casseroles.  
Adjustable steam vent  
The steam vent allows moisture to escape  
without losing too much heat. Keep the vent  
closed whenever cooking food where it is  
necessary to retain the heat and/or moisture.  
The vent should be left open for a crisper  
result. When roasting chicken and meat,  
open the vent in the last 15 minutes of  
cooking to crispen.

High Grade Non-Stick cooking  
surfaces.  
Cooking on a non-stick surface minimises the  
need for oil, food does not stick and cleaning  
is easier.  
To ensure you get the best results from your  
non-stick cooking surfaces, follow these  
simple instructions:  
Before the first use  
“Season” the cooking surface by applying a  
thin coat of cooking oil and rub in with paper  
towelling. This will also be necessary after  
cleaning in a dishwasher.  
Avoid using high settings (8-10), as any food  
which may burn on the non-stick surface may  
cause it to discolour.  
Any discolouration that may occur will only  
detract from the appearance of the frypan  
and will not affect the cooking performance.  
To clean interior and exterior surface  
Wash in hot soapy water. Remove stubborn  
spots with a plastic washing pad or sponge.  
WARNING: DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL  
OR COURSE SCOURING PADS.  
These will damage the non-stick cooking  
surface.  
WASH AS DIRECTED, AND RE-SEASON THE  
MULTICOOKER DEEP FRYER BEFORE USING  
AGAIN.  
Dishwasher-safe  
Your Multicooker Deep Fryer is completely  
dishwasher-safe. The heating element is  
totally sealed so it is safe to fully immerse in  
water.

Cooking with your Multicooker  
Shallow frying  
Braising and Stewing  
Add only sufficient quantity of oil to cover  
the surface of the vessel. Preheat oil on dial  
setting 6-7 before adding food. Turn the  
food as you fry it, reducing heat if necessary.  
Remove the food with a slotted spoon or  
tongs, drain well and serve.  
This is the ideal method for cooking tougher  
cuts of meat. First saute the food in butter  
or oil to develop the flavour. Then cover  
with stock, water or wine and cook for the  
suggested time and setting in the recipe.  
Always keep the lid on and the vent closed  
when braising or stewing.  
Sauteing  
Deep Frying  
This is a term which means foods are quickly  
fried and gently stirred in a small amount of  
hot butter, margarine or oil. Foods that are  
commonly sauteed are onions, mushrooms,  
garlic, capsicums and meats. Sauteing  
It is essential that foods to be deep fried  
are completely immersed in the frying  
medium. Select any frying medium you  
wish, but refined, deodorised vegetable oils  
are recommended. They can be used more  
than once without marked deterioration.  
Sunbeam also recommends peanut oil  
or solid vegetable shortening of reliable  
brands. Lard is the best of animal fats,  
but it tends to be very rich in flavour and  
odour. Dripping darkens quickly and is  
not completely satisfactory. DO NOT USE  
BUTTER OR MARGARINE FOR DEEP  
FRYING.  
develops flavour. Preheat the vessel to dial  
setting 3-4 with oil and saute as desired.  
Boiling  
Ideal for cooking vegetables where they  
are completely immersed in water which is  
brought to boiling point. Heat is regulated to  
continue the boiling action. Place the lid on  
the vessel unless stated in the recipe.  
Dry Frying  
Do not overfill the cooking vessel with oil  
Preheat the cooker to dial setting 6-8 with a  
little butter, margarine or oil. Remove excess  
fat from meat and place it directly into the  
vessel. Turn the food to seal and brown  
both sides. It may be necessary to lower the  
setting after sealing to complete the cooking.  
When small amounts of butter, margarine or  
oil are used, tilt the vessel slightly to coat the  
entire surface.  
or  
shortening. Allow at least 8cm from the  
top  
of the oil or shortening to the rim of  
the vessel. About 8 to 10 cups (2 to 2 ½  
litres) of  
oil or 2kg of shortening is ample.  
If more is used, boilovers may occur.  
Never leave oil or shortening at high frying  
temperatures for long periods of time. If  
cooking fried foods in batches, lower the  
temperature to setting 1-2 between frying  
sessions, as it helps to extend the life of  
the oil.  
Reheating Foods  
To keep foods hot or reheat foods, place the  
leftovers into the vessel and heat on setting  
1-2. To prevent food drying out add a small  
amount of stock or water as required. Another  
way to heat leftovers is to wrap them in foil,  
seal and place in the vessel with the lid on.  
Heat on settings 3 or 4 for 5 to 10 minutes.  
NEVER PLACE THE LID ON THE VESSEL  
WHEN DEEP FRYING.

Care of oils and shortenings  
Wait for indicator light to go OFF before  
frying next batch. Skim off any food  
particles.  
Have absorbent paper handy for draining  
Strain after each use because food particles  
or sediments cause oil to darken, foam and  
lose its browning quality.  
foods.  
Store in a cool place away from light.  
Renew oil frequently. We do not  
recommend the addition of new oil to old,  
as used oil breaks down the quality of the  
new oil.  
DO NOT STORE OIL IN THE  
MULTICOOKER.  
Boiling vegetables  
Prepare vegetables (see pages 14-16).  
Add enough water to the vessel to barely  
cover vegetables.  
Bring water to a rapid boil on setting 5-6.  
Add vegetables and return to  
the boil.  
To clarify oils and shortenings  
Oil or shortening will last longer if clarified  
regularly. For each 500g of shortening or  
2 cups (500 ml) of oil, add one potato,  
peeled and cut into 5mm slices. Heat oil  
or shortening gradually. When it ceases to  
bubble and the potatoes are well browned,  
strain the oil through several thicknesses of  
muslin or cheesecloth placed over a strainer.  
Set aside to cool. When ready to use, discard  
any sediment left at the bottom of the bowl.  
Cover, unless stated in recipe  
or chart.  
Reduce setting to 2 (or gentle boil) and  
cook for the suggested cooking time  
(see pages 14-16).  
Drain vegetables.  
Note: Vegetable stock may be used as a base  
for sauces.  
To blanch vegetables for freezing  
Prepare vegetables and plunge into boiling  
water.  
Boil rapidly for 1 to 10 minutes  
(depending on vegetable).  
Remove and cool vegetables quickly by  
placing in iced or running cold tap water.  
Leave approximately 2.5 cm space before  
sealing.  
Hints for frying  
Vary time and temperature to suit taste,  
size and quantity of foods.  
Do not heat more oil or shortening than  
required.  
Dry foods thoroughly on absorbent  
paper before adding to hot oil, or before  
dipping into frying batter, to avoid excess  
spattering.  
Label, date and freeze.  
The following pages give basic preparation  
and cooking directions for boiling steaming or  
sauteing a wide selection of vegetables.  
Use tongs or a long-handled slotted spoon  
to gently lower food into hot oil. To avoid  
spatter burns, never drop foods from  
fingers.  
Do not overcrowd the frying basket. It is  
better to cook about half a basketful at a  
time.  
Batter-covered foods such as doughnuts are  
best cooked one layer at a time.

juice should accumulate whilst roasting.  
Moisture in the fat indicates the necessity  
to increase the temperature. Turn the meat  
two or three times during cooking and add  
vegetables three-quarters to one hour before  
anticipated serving time. If necessary, change  
temperature to 6 for crisp, brown vegetables.  
To obtain crisp pork crackling, it is necessary  
to increase the temperature to 8-10.

Cooking with your Deep Fryer  
The Perfect Chip.  
For perfect fries and wedges old potatoes  
are ideal. The potato should be low starch,  
waxy variety i.e. chats, new potato or  
desiree potatoes.  
Hints for cooking the perfect frozen chip.  
• Do not defrost frozen precooked chips.  
For the best results they should be taken  
directly from the freezer to the fryer.  
Make sure that the chips are cut evenly  
to guarantee even cooking.  
• Heat oil to the maximum setting, 8-10.  
Place up to 1kg frozen chips into the fryer  
basket and lower into the hot oil for 1 - 2  
minutes to seal.  
Lift the basket out and rest the drainage  
lever inside the rim of the cooking vessel.  
Allow the oil to heat up again.  
Lower the basket again and fry the chips  
for a further 3 - 4 minutes until golden  
brown. The time required will depend on  
the size and cut of the chip, and personal  
taste.  
The cut chips should be rinsed under  
running water until the water runs  
clear. This removes excess starch from  
the potatoes, starch burns at high  
temperatures.  
• Dry on kitchen towel before frying.  
Shake the basket at short intervals to  
encourage even browning and to prevent  
chips from sticking together.  
Homemade fries are double cooked. The  
first fry blanches the chips so that they  
cook through. The second fry colours the  
chips and gives them a crisp crust. Use the  
table below as a guide.  
Allow chips to drain for a moment before  
removing from the basket and seasoning.  
Cooking times will vary depending on the  
size of your fries or chips and the variety of  
the potato used.

Deep fry cooking with home  
battered food.  
This method allows for the fact that if  
wet batter is placed in the basket prior to  
cooking the food may stick to the basket.  
THIS METHOD OF COOKING REQUIRES  
EXTREME  
. CARE  
1.Follow steps 1 - 6 only from the deep fry  
cooking instructions on page 8.  
2.Place the frying basket into the vessel with  
the heated oil.  
3.Coat the food in batter (see recipes on  
page 37) and allow it to drain slightly to  
get rid of the excess coating.  
4.Very carefully, slowly lower the coated food  
into the hot oil, using a suitable implement  
or tongs.  
This allows the batter to become solid  
and prevents it sealing to the mesh of the  
basket.  
Note: Remember to take care as the oil may  
spit as the food is added.  
5.You can now follow the deep fry cooking  
instructions from steps 8-10 on page 8.
