Knowing When It’s Hot Enough
Many of our recipes call for
pre-heating your pans. This is
particularly important when
cooking chicken, meats and sh
as they are usually seared in a
hot, dry pan without any kind of
cooking fat. However, without
anything melting or spluttering
away in there it can be tricky to
know just when it’s hot enough.
We nd a few drops of water to
be the perfect indicator: set the
empty pan over medium heat
for 3 to 5 minutes, then ick in some water with your ngertips. If
the droplets bead up and roll across the pan’s surface you’re ready
to proceed with cooking. If the water sizzles away slowly, it’s not hot
enough. Continue heating the pan, then test again with water droplets.
Forming the Vapor Seal
Forming a proper Vapor Seal is key to
successful Vapor Cooking. Once the lid
is in place, it’s virtually impossible not
to reach the Vapor Seal stage. However,
there’s more to it than just plunking
down the lid. It’s important to read and
follow our recipes carefully. They have
been specially developed and written to
teach you the Vapor Cooking method
and are loaded with lots of helpful tips on
engaging and relying on the Vapor Seal
during cooking.

To gauge your cookware’s heat
level, drip water droplets into the
heated utensil. When the water
beads up and rolls across the
surface, the pan is at the correct
temperature to begin cooking.
