Advice for cooking
-
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.
