Cooking pasta

1 Use the measuring beaker provided
to measure the pasta, filling level to
the top. As a guide, 2 or 3 cups of
pasta is sufficient for one person,
but this will vary according to
individual taste.
2 For best results when cooking
pasta, fit the special pasta pad B.

3 Transfer the pasta to the inner bowl
and level the surface. The markings
on the inside of the bowl are for
measuring the amount of water and
are given in litres and cups. Add
water to the corresponding level
marked on the inside of the bowl.
For example, to cook 6 cups of
pasta, place the pasta into the inner
bowl and then fill with water up to
the six cup level.
• Minimum capacity is 4 cups,
maximum is 10 cups.
• Never fill with water straight from
the tap, use the measuring beaker.
IMPORTANT: Do not fill above the
top level indicated.
4 Place the inner bowl in the cooker,
ensuring that there is no pasta or
any moisture on the outside of the
bowl.
5 Cover with the lid, ensuring that the
vent hole in the lid is situated away
from you.
6 Plug the cooker into the power
supply. The amber pilot light will
light up.
7 Press down the switch and the
cooker will start. The blue light will
come on and the amber light will go
off.
Note: During cooking, it is normal
for the lid to rise up slightly and
water to bubble around the edge.

8 For all types of pasta, we
recommend that you follow the
cooking time on the packet plus a
further 10 minutes. At the end of the
cooking time, you can switch the
cooker to 'keep warm' if required.
The blue light will go out and the
amber light will go on to indicate
keep warm.
9 Carefully lift the lid and allow any
condensation to drip into the
cooker. Use the spatula to stir the
pasta which is then ready to eat.
Replace the lid as quickly as
possible if leaving on keep warm.
Consume the pasta within 1 hour.
10 Switch off at the mains and unplug
the mains cable. Remove the bowl
to serve the food.
• Never take the bowl out of the
cooker when it is filled with water.
Tips for best cooking
results
• Make sure that the rice and pasta is
spread over the whole surface of the
bowl to ensure even cooking.
• You may find that for your own
personal taste, you need to slightly
adjust the amount of water added.
For a softer rice or pasta, add a little
more water, and for a firmer rice or
pasta, a little less water.
• The cooking times may vary
according to the quantity and type of
rice or pasta cooked.
• A thin crust of rice may form on the
base, particularly when cooking Italian
or easy-cook type rice, or when
cooking smaller quantities. Wiping
half a teaspoon of oil over the base
may help reduce this forming, but this
occurrence is not always preventable.
