"The Multi-Cooker adds a modern twist to the traditional slow
cooker, with updated cooking settings ranging from steam to sear,
and a stir tower that lets cooks step away and multi-task in the
kitchen," says Beth Robinson, Senior
Brand Experience Manager for KitchenAid.
The 3-speed stir tower accessory mixes, flips and stirs
ingredients to keep them consistently incorporated and evenly
heated. Once attached to the Multi-Cooker, its stir settings can be
adjusted with a speed selector dial to handle everything from
flipping meat balls to stirring a heavy stew. The new flipping
paddle combined with a flex edge scraping blade stirs and scrapes
around the cooking vessel to keep foods like batters and sauces
from sticking to the sides.
Pre-programmed settings for rice, risotto, soup and yogurt
provide cooks with next step instructions to help deliver perfectly
cooked results. As cooks move through each step, the Multi-Cooker
adjusts and displays temperatures and timing accordingly.
"The pre-programmed settings help take the guesswork out of
notoriously time and temperature sensitive dishes, resulting in
less time fussing and more time for other things," adds
Robinson.
Additional cooking modes include simmering, sauteing, searing,
steaming and two slow cook options, all of which can be programmed
for up to 12 hours of cooking, and the Keep Warm function can be
programmed for up to 24 hours. The Multi-Cooker automatically sets
the temperature for each setting, and the brand's
Even-Heat™ technology allows for precise temperature
regulation between 110 degrees - 450 degrees F to prevent
under or over cooking. When using the manual mode, the Multi-Cooker
functions like a regular stovetop with temperature settings at low,
medium and high.
The Multi-Cooker comes with a dual purpose cooking rack for
foods that require steaming or roasting, and the glass lid allows
cooks to easily strain and pour liquids directly from the cooking
vessel, keeping solid foods separated from liquids. The lid,
cooking vessel, silicone flexible edge blade and stirring paddle
are all dishwasher safe. The cooking vessel features a nonstick
CeramaShield™ coating that is 100% PTFE and PFOA
free.
The Multi-Cooker is available this month at Williams-Sonoma.com
in Candy Apple and Stainless Steel,
and will be available at KitchenAid.com in August in the same
colors, and also in Onyx Black. The suggested retail prices are
$349.99 for the Multi-Cooker,
$229.99 for the Stir Tower accessory
and $549.99 for the Multi-Cooker and
Stir Tower combined.
