Some cooking procedures, including the cooking of rice with the absorption-
method (= the water is consumed completely), require a setting above the lowest
power level, so the food is cooked within the recommended cooking time.
S
TEAKS
1.
Take the meat out of the fridge and let it rest at room temperature for approx. 20
minutes.
2.
Heat up a pan with a heavy base.
3.
Rub both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot
pan and place the steak into the pan.
4.
Turn the meat just once while cooking. The exact cooking time depends on the
size of your steak and your individual preferences (medium, medium rare etc.).
So, the cooking time of each side may vary from 2 to 8 minutes. Press the steak
to check the cooking result - a firm steak is well done.
5.
Leave the steak on a warm plate for a few minutes; so it will become tender.

STYLE COOKING
1.
Choose a wok with a flat base or a big pan.
2.
Prepare all ingredients and the cooking utensils you need. Asian-style cooking
should work fast. If you want to cook a big amount of food, you should divide
the food into several portions.
3.
Preheat the wok / pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4.
Cook the meat first. Put it aside and keep it warm.
5.
Now cook the vegetable. When the vegetable is hot but still crisp, reduce the
power level. Add the meat and, if desired, a sauce.
6.
Sauté the complete food carefully so all components are hot.
7.
Serve immediately.
6.2 Tips for baking and roasting (oven)
❖
We recommend using the supplied baking tray provided with your appliance.
❖
It is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought somewhere else.
For
baking it is better to use black trays which conduct heat better and shorten
the baking time.
❖
Shapes and trays with bright or shiny surfaces are not recommended when using
the conventional heating method (top and bottom heaters). The use of such tins
can result in under-cooking the base of cakes.
❖
Before you take a cake out of the oven, check that it is ready using a wooden stick
(when the cake is ready the stick should come out dry and clean after having been
inserted in the cake).
❖
When switching off the oven leave the cake inside for about 5 minutes.
