Cooking with Infiniton
Cooking tips and hints
WARNING! Be careful when frying, as oil and fat heat up very quickly, especially when using the
Boost function. At extremely high temperatures, oil and fat ignite spontaneously, posing a serious
fire hazard.
•
When food starts to boil, reduce the temperature.
•
Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining heat.
•
Reduce the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking time.
•
Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has warmed up.
Simmering
Simmering occurs below boiling point, at about 85˚C, when bubbles gradually rise to the surface of the
liquid being cooked. This is the key to delicious soups and tender stews, as the flavours develop without
overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based sauces and flour-thickened sauces below the
boiling point.
Cooking rice
Some tasks, such as cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than the
lowest setting to ensure that the food is cooked properly in the recommended time.
Browning a fillet of meat
For cooking juicy and tasty steaks:
1.
Let the meat stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat a large frying pan.
3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and then place the
meat in 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 2 to 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to
measure the degree of doneness: the more firm the steak looks, the more done it is.
5. Let the steak rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to relax and tenderise before serving.
Stir-fry
1.
Choose a flat-bottomed wok (induction compatible) or a large frying pan.
2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If cooking large quantities,
cook the food in several smaller batches.
3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook the meat first, set aside and keep warm.
5. Sauté the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the cooking zone to a lower setting, return
the meat to the pan and add your sauce.
6. Stir the ingredients gently to heat through.
7. Serve immediately.
WARNING! When an unsuitably sized or non-magnetic frying pan (e.g. aluminium) or any other
small object (e.g. knife, fork...) is left on the hob, the hob will automatically switch to standby
within 1 minute. The fan will continue to run for another 1 minute.
