• The maximum recommended weight for a whole chicken is
1.5 kg.
• Choose pieces of meat, such as chops, cubed meat for stews,
of the same size and thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
• 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 connect.
Adapting your own recipes for use in Cook4me connect
• 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 connect.
• 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
connect 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.
