COOKING TIPS

WARNING
Risk of fi re! Take special care when deep-frying as the oil and fat heat
up very quickly, especially if you use the boost function. At very high
temperatures, oil and grease can ignite spontaneously and they
therefore pose an enormous fi re risk.
Tips for cooking
• Reduce the heat when the food starts to cook.
• Using a pot lid reduces the preparation time and saves energy by retaining the
heat.
• Minimise the amount of water or fat to reduce preparation time.
• Start the cooking process with a high heat setting and reduce the heat as soon as
the food has heated up completely.
Simmering, cooking rice
• When simmering, the contents of the pot are cooked below the boiling point
at about 85°C. Bubbles occasionally rise to the surface of the cooking liquid.
Simmering is the key to delicious soups and delicate stews, as it allows the fl avour
to develop without overcooking the food. You should also prepare egg-based and
fl our-thickened sauces below the boiling point.
• Preparing rice using the absorption method may require a higher power setting to
ensure that the rice cooks in the recommended time.
Searing steak
For preparing juicy, aromatic steaks:
1. Let the meat rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
2. Heat a frying pan.
3 Rub both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle some of the oil into the hot pan and then
place the steak in it.
4. Turn the steak over only once during searing. The length of searing depends on
the thickness of the steak and how well done you want it to be in the end. The time
can vary from 2-8 minutes per side. Press on the steak (for example with a fork
or cooking spoon) to check how cooked through it is. The fi rmer it feels, the more
cooked through it is.
5. Then place the steak on a warm plate for a few minutes to rest and tenderise.
