Hints & Tips
•
Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as
fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when
heated.
•
Be careful when biting into cooked items
containing fillings such as cheese and tomato
or jam as they retain heat and can burn if
eaten too quickly. One cup of filling for each
cooking pocket is sufficient. Do not overfill
the cooking pockets.
•
Fewer eggs will be required when using
filling in an omelette.
•
Eggs should be at room temperature
(not from the refrigerator) for best results
when making omelettes
•
Whisk the eggs with a hand whisk in a large
bowl to achieve a well aerated egg mixture.
•
For best cooking results, we recommend to
season the plates occasionally to prevent
sticking and to make cleaning easier.
To season, brush the cooking plates with a
little vegetable oil and rub off the excess with
absorbent paper. Do this after pre-heating
the unit.
•
Thawed ready-rolled pastry is the easiest to
use, either in sheets or from a roll.
•
To keep the omelette warm, place in an oven
proof dish on a rack in a low oven, about
100°C. The omelette will keep warm for up
to 20 minutes this way, but will then begin to
dry out.
•
You can cook more than just omelettes in
your omelette maker. Make a combination
of sweet and savoury snacks such as peach
crumbles, brownies, cakes and chicken pies).
