Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly,
particularly if you’re using PowerBoost. At extremely high temperatures
oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.
Cooking Tips
•
When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
•
Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
•
Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
•
Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.
Simmering, cooking rice
•
Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85˚C, when bubbles are just rising
occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and
tender stews because the flavours develop without overcooking the food.
You should also cook egg-based and flourthickened sauces below boiling point.
•
Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting
higher than the lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time
recommended.
Searing steak
To cook juicy flavoursome steaks:
1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
3.
Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot
pan and then lower the meat onto the hot pan.
4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on
the thickness of the steak and how cooked you want it. Times may vary from
