2 minutes.
People with a heart pace maker should consult with their doctor before using this unit.
4. Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using PowerBoost. At
extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.
4.1 Cooking
Tips
•
When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
•
Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
•
Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
•
Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.
4.1.1
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 flavours 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 setting higher than the lowest
setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.
4.1.2 Searing
steak
To cook juicy flavorsome 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. Times 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.
5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender before serving.
