Sauces - Panasonic Inverter NN-CD757W Cookery Book & Operating Instructions

Sauces

CONTAINER SIZE- To avoid boil over always use a container at least twice the capacity of the sauce.
COVERING- DO NOT cover sauces when cooking.
STIRRING - IMPORTANT- Sauces/gravy should be thoroughly stirred before, during and after cooking, to avoid
any eruptions and to result in a smooth sauce.
REHEATING- Sauces can be made in advance and reheated by MICROWAVE. Reheat on HIGH
MICROWAVE and stir halfway.
MICROWAVE LEVELS- Most sauces require HIGH MICROWAVE for cooking. Sauces containing eggs should be cooked on SIMMER MICROWAVE.
WOODEN SPOONS- Do not leave wooden spoons in the sauce when cooking. The wood may dry out and
burn. NEVER LEAVE metal spoons in the sauce.
