Before using your new ceramic hob • Read this guide, taking special note of safety warnings section • Remove any protective film that may still be on your ceramic hob Using the touch controls • The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure • Use the ball of your finger, not its tip • You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered • Make sure the controls are always clean, dry and that there is no object (e.g. utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water can make the controls difficult to operate. Choosing the right cookware- Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base. Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.

Cooking guidelines- Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using power boost. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk. 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. 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. 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 if the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and...
- Page 10 5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender before serving. For stir-frying- 1. Choose a ceramic compatible flat-based wok or a large frying pan. 2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If cooking in large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches. 3. Preheat the pan briefly and add 2 tablespoons of oil. 4. Cook any meat first, put it aside and keep warm 5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the cooking zone to a lower setting, return the meat to the pan and add your sauce. 6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through. 7. Serve immediately Heat settings- The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several factors, including your cookware and amount you are cooking. Experiment with the ceramic hob to find the settings that best suit you.
