Cooking advice
Be careful when frying, as oil and grease heat up very quickly. With extremely high
-
temperatures, oil and grease can ignite spontaneously, causing a serious fire hazard.
When food starts boiling, reduce the power.
-
Using a lid will reduce the cooking time and save energy due to heat retention.
-
Reduce the amount of liquid or grease to shorten cooking times.
-
Start cooking with a high power setting and reduce it as food heats up.
-
Simmering and cooking rice
Simmering occurs below the boiling point, at about 85ºC, when some bubbles rise to the
-
surface of the cooking liquid. It is essential for preparing delicious soups and tender stews,
because it enhances the flavours without overcooking the food. Egg-based and flour-
thickened sauces should also be cooked below boiling point.
Some recipes, like cooking rice using the absorption method, may require a setting higher
-
than the lowest setting to ensure that the food is cooked properly in the recommended
time.
Pork chops
For juicy and tasty results:
Leave the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking it.
1
Preheat a heavy-based frying pan.
2
Brush both sides of the meat with oil. Spray a small amount of oil in the hot frying pan and
3
place the meat.
Turn the meat only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the meat
4
thickness and your likings. Times may vary from 2 to 8 minutes per side. Press the meat to
measure the cooking degree; the firmer it is, the more cooked it is.
Let the meat stand on a hot dish for some minutes so it softens before serving it.

Stir-frying
Choose a flat-bottomed cookware that is compatible with the ceramic hob.
1
Have all ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying is fast. If you cook large amounts,
2
cook food in several smaller batches.
Preheat the cookware briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
3
Cook meat first, set it aside and keep it warm.
4
Stir-fry vegetables. When vegetables are hot but still crunchy, choose a lower power for
5
the cooking area, place the meat in the frying pan again and add any sauce.
Stir ingredients carefully.
