{"product_id":"sage-the-risotto-plus-multi-cooker","title":"Sage: the Risotto Plus Multi Cooker","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Risotto Plus is built around one genuinely clever idea: stir-free risotto. Rather than standing over the hob, you add your ingredients and let the machine handle it. But it goes well beyond that one function, with slow cooking, steaming, sautéing, and rice and quinoa all covered by the same appliance. The ceramic-coated cooking bowl is PTFE and PFOA free, and doubles as a serving bowl to keep washing up to a minimum. An automatic keep warm function kicks in once cooking is finished, so the food is ready when you are rather than the other way around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHands-free risotto: The machine is engineered to cook risotto without stirring, handling the process automatically so you don't need to stand over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix cooking functions: Risotto, rice, steam, sauté, slow cook on low and high, and auto keep warm are all available from a single appliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePTFE and PFOA free ceramic coating: The aluminium cooking bowl has a ceramic non-stick coating that is free from PTFE and PFOA, and is designed to double as a serving bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteaming tray included: A stainless steel steaming tray is included for cooking vegetables, poultry, and seafood above the main bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAutomatic keep warm: Once rice or risotto has finished cooking, the keep warm function activates automatically so the food stays at serving temperature until you're ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions (W x D x H): 26 x 23 x 25 cm\u003cbr\u003eTotal capacity: 3.7 litres\u003cbr\u003eMaximum rice capacity: 1.5 kg white rice with 1.8 litres water\u003cbr\u003eMinimum rice capacity: 300 g white rice with 360 ml water\u003cbr\u003eCooking functions: Risotto, sauté, rice, steam, slow cook low and high, auto keep warm\u003cbr\u003eCooking bowl: Aluminium with PTFE and PFOA free ceramic non-stick coating\u003cbr\u003eHousing: Brushed stainless steel\u003cbr\u003eLid: Tempered glass\u003cbr\u003eIncluded accessories: Stainless steel steaming tray, measuring cup, serving spoon\u003cbr\u003ePower: 760 W\u003cbr\u003eVoltage: 220-240 V\u003cbr\u003eWarranty: 2-year repair, replace or refund guarantee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCARE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore first use: Wash the cooking bowl, steaming tray, measuring cup, and serving spoon before use. Wipe the inside of the housing with a damp cloth. Run the machine through one cycle with water only before cooking food for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleaning the cooking bowl: Allow the bowl to cool before washing. Hand wash with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers as these will damage the non-stick coating. Check the manual before placing in the dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleaning the lid and steaming tray: The tempered glass lid and stainless steel steaming tray can be washed with warm soapy water. Check the manual for dishwasher compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleaning the housing: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the machine in water and do not allow water to enter the base unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat to avoid: Do not use metal utensils in the cooking bowl as these will scratch the non-stick surface. Do not overfill beyond the maximum capacity markings. Do not use abrasive cleaning products on the bowl or lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQUESTIONS AND ANSWERS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan it cook more than just risotto and rice?\u003cbr\u003eYes, it has six cooking modes in total: risotto, rice, steam, sauté, slow cook on low and high, and auto keep warm. It handles quinoa as well as rice, and the steaming function works for vegetables, poultry, and seafood. The sauté function lets you brown ingredients directly in the bowl before switching to another mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow much can it cook at once?\u003cbr\u003eThe bowl has a maximum capacity of 3.7 litres. For rice, the usable range is between 300g and 1.5kg of white rice. The minimum volume is 300g of white rice with 360ml of water, so it works for smaller portions as well as larger ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs the cooking bowl dishwasher safe?\u003cbr\u003eSage has not confirmed dishwasher safety for the cooking bowl in the product specifications, so we'd recommend checking the manual before putting it in the dishwasher. The non-stick ceramic coating is best preserved by hand washing with a soft cloth or sponge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoes the keep warm function work for slow-cooked dishes too?\u003cbr\u003eAccording to the product specifications, the auto keep warm function activates automatically after rice and risotto are finished cooking. For other functions such as slow cook, we'd recommend checking the manual for confirmation on whether keep warm applies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":22989023608890,"sku":"09598","price":109.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/1875\/7690\/products\/09598.jpg?v=1630938269","url":"https:\/\/aolcookshop.co.uk\/products\/sage-the-risotto-plus-multi-cooker","provider":"Art of Living Cookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
