Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly
if you're using Power Boost. At extremely high temperature, oil and fat will
ignite spontaneously and there will be a serious fire risk.
Cooking Tips
• When food comes to the boil, reduce the power 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 power setting and reduce the power 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 flavour develop without overcooking the
food. You should also cook egg-based and flour thickened sauces below boiling
point.
• Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a
higher power setting 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. Time may vary from
about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to gauge how cooked it is – the
firmer it feels the more 'well done' it will be.
