Guidelines
IF THE TIMER IS SET ON MORE THAN ONE ZONE
1. When you set the time for several cooking zones simultaneously, decimal dots of the relevant
cooking zones are on. The minute display shows the shortest time frame you have selected. The
dot of the corresponding zone flashes.
(set to 15 minutes)
2. Once the countdown timer expires, the corresponding zone will switch off.
Then it will show the next shortest timer and the dot of corresponding zone will
flash.
COOKING TIPS
• When food comes to the boil, reduce the power 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.
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 in the time recommended.
SEARING STEAK
To cook juicy flavoursome 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.
