TIPS & HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
Use this section as a handy reference when you are cooking your own dishes
in the Superchef. As you become more familiar with the machine you will
determine your own best cooking times and temperatures according to your
personal taste.
THAWING FOOD
The Superchef will thaw most foods. Simply place onto one of the wire racks,
set the thermostat to thaw and allow approximately 40 minutes per kg. Large
items like meat joints should be turned at least once during the thawing
process. Any liquids or juices from thawed food should be thoroughly cleaned
from the bowl before cooking.
FROZEN FOOD
Large items like meat joints or poultry cannot be cooked from frozen and must
be thawed thoroughly first. However, some foods cook best from frozen.
Simply follow the cooking instructions on the packaging as a guideline. It is
often the case that cooking time is shorter in the Superchef because it is more
efficient than conventional ovens.
TOASTING
You can toast almost anything in the Superchef. Bread, bagels, pizza,
crumpets etc. For best results use the high rack and set temperature to 220-
230 depending upon your own preferences. It is unlikely that the item you are
toasting will need to be turned over half way through cooking. The hot,
circulating air will usually toast both sides at once.
GRILLING
As with toasting, items to be grilled should be placed on the high rack and the
temperature should be set between 220-240 . When deciding the best
temperature setting to use, consider the thickness of the food. A 3cm thick
steak would require a lower temperature and longer cooking time than a 1cm
thick steak. Also remember that frozen foods like burgers are likely to need a
longer cooking time. You may wish to turn the food halfway through the
grilling process to ensure even colouring. Always line the bottom of the
bowl with foil before grilling meat or other foods likely to drip. The foil
lining makes cleaning so much easier!
