• Before browning meat joints dry the outside with
kitchen paper towel if it is moist on the outside. This
helps reduce spitting during browning,
• Use about ½ – 1 tablespoon sunflower or vegetable oil
when browning joints of meat.
• During browning, turn joints or meat using a spatula so
it browns on all sides. Take care as hot oil may spit from
the bowl. For pieces of meat, e.g. chops, or chicken, e.g.
drumsticks, brown in batches, if necessary.
• After browning, take care when adding liquid to the
hot bowl as it may spit or give off hot steam.
• Meat or joints with a layer of fat on the outside, such
as chops or pork joints, will not turn crisp when cooked
in the Cook4me.
Adapting your own recipes for use in Cook4me
• For the programs that cook under pressure – pressure
cooking and ingredients menu – reduce the liquid
quantity when adapting a conventional recipe as there
is less evaporation in Cook4me.
• The cooking time will be shorter than in a conventional
oven or on the hob. Find a similar recipe in the Recipe
Menu as a guide to the cooking time.
• Recipes are best thickened after cooking using Instant
Thickening Granules available in larger supermarkets
and are usually sold in the aisle near to cornflour. Just
stir the thickening granules into the boiling hot dish
or liquid until all the granules dissolve and the liquid
thickens.
Alternatively, blend cornflour with a little cold liquid to
form a smooth paste (see packet instructions for advice
on quantities); stir into the hot dish and then bring to the
boil in a separate saucepan.
• To remove any unpleasant odours left in the Cook4me
after cooking strong foods, such as fish or curry, clean
the appliance afterwards including dismantling the
metal plate and cleaning all safety parts. Reassemble
and leave the lid open for a few hours.
