Tips for using TSV Cook's Essentials Perfect Cooker

As posted with the listing on QVC website.........

 

Cooking Tips for Cook’s Essentials 5 Cup Digital Perfect Cooker 

 
BAKED GOODS  For baked goods recipes an additional 10 minutes may be needed.  Once cooking time is complete, turn off Perfect Cooker & allow food to rest for an additional 10 min with lid closed.  Then remove inner pot & allow to completely cool before serving. 


MEAT/POULTRY   Brown beef or poultry and drain any excess fat or oil before following recipe. 


MEASURING CUP  The measuring cup included adheres to

rice industry standards. It is about ¾ of the size of 1 standard U.S. cup.  When making rice, we recommend using this cup for measuring both rice & water.  Use a standard measuring cup (not included) for all other recipes.

Does anyone have a clue as to what they used for crust in the stuffed calazones?  Once I though I could see faint circles and wondered if it was canned biscuits.

No, but I'd try pizza dough - the kind that comes in a tube should work, or just the wampum muffins?

The recipe calls for pizza dough.

The eyes through which you see others may be the same as how they see you.

 I'd like to add a tip.  When i use my rice cooker making white or brown rice. I always add a tablespoon of butter. It keeps the foaming down I found.
