COOKING TECHNIQUES & TIPS
BAKING
Recommended temperature probe setting:
SEAR
The frypan can be used for baking cakes or
self-saucing puddings.
• Preheat the frypan on SEAR setting for
15 minutes with the lid on. Place wire
rack into the base of the pan to elevate
the cake away from the base of the
frypan.
• Place the cake onto the wire rack and
cook with the lid on.
SIMMERING
Recommended temperature control probe
setting: 6-8
• Used for cooking casseroles, stews and
reducing and thickening sauces.
• Simmering food is to cook food in liquid
between a temperature range of
85°C- 96°C.
• Bubbles should be small and just
breaking through the surface.
• For best simmering results, the frypan
should have a minimum of 3 litres of
combined food and liquid.
• Simmering can be achieved with and
without the lid on.
• Follow cooking instructions as per
recipe. Reduce temperature setting to
6-8. The frying pan will cycle on and off
in short bursts.
• Food should be stirred occasionally to
allow food to be cooked evenly.
STEAMING
Recommended temperature control probe
setting: 8-10
• Steaming is the healthiest of cooking
techniques. It retains the food’s texture,
flavour, vitamins and minerals which
may otherwise be lost in the cooking
water.
• Steaming consists of cooking food by
setting it above a hot boiling liquid, and
letting the steam from the liquid literally
cook the food.
• When steaming always make sure that
the water never comes in contact with
the food.
• Always line a plate or tray with baking
paper or cabbage leaves. This keeps
the food from sticking to the plate and
coming in contact with the water.
• Always fill the frypan with a minimum of
1-2 litres of water.
• Do not allow the frypan to boil dry
• Check water levels during cooking
and refill with boiling water to prevent
frypan from boiling dry.
• To steam; fill the frypan with cold water.
Set temperature probe to SEAR setting
and place wire rack into the base.
• Line a plate with baking paper or
cabbage leaves and place food on top.
Position plate or tray onto wire rack and
cover with lid.
• Bring water to the boil and reduce probe
to setting 8-10.
• Be careful when dealing with steam.
When lifting the lid, steam can scald and
burn.
