  • Use an oil with a high smoke point for frying. Every oil is only good up to a certain temperature — its smoke point — beyond which it starts to burn and forms harmful compounds. Unrefined oils, with a few exceptions, have a low smoke point because they contain unfiltered particles that burn quickly. Refined oils hold up better to heat and have a higher smoke point.
  • You can swap the sour cream for plain, unsweetened yogurt.
  • Keep in mind that the cooking times and settings here are approximate. Every multicooker behaves a little differently, and even identical models from the same brand can vary. Read your appliance's manual, start with dishes you already know, and then adjust the setting and timing to suit your own machine.
