› 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 occurs below boiling point, at around 85°C, when bubbles are just rising
occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. This is the key to delicious soups and tender
stews because the flavours develop without the food being overcooked. Also, you should 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 you want it cooked. 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.
