Cooking Guidelines

Take care when frying: oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you're using PowerBoost. At

extremely high termperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.

• When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.

• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.

• inimise 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 occurs below boiling point, at around 85oC, 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.

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.
