4 Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly,
particularly
if you’r
e using PowerBoost. At extremely high
termperatures 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.
•
Minimise 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 flourthickened
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
