Hints and tips
Hints and tips when using the hob
•
Do not overfill pans or they will boil
over.
•
Do not use pans with very heavy
handles which cause the pan to
tip.
•
Do not close the lid until the
appliance has cooled down.
•
Do not leave accidental spillage on
the hob or removable parts. The
spillage should be wiped up and
the parts washed and carefully
dried as soon as the hob, pan
supports and burner parts are cool
enough to touch.
•
A flat based Wok will stand stable
on the pan supports. If you use a
round Wok with a collar support,
the collar must be the open
wirework type otherwise the
performance of the burner will be
affected.
Hints and tips when using the grill
•
Most foods should be placed on
the grid in the grill pan to allow
maximum circulation of air and to
lift the food out of the fats and
juices.
•
Adjust the grid and grill pan runner
position to allow for different
thicknesses of food.
•
Position the food close to the
element for faster cooking and
further away for gentler cooking.
•
Food should be thoroughly dried
before grilling to minimise
splashing. Brush lean meats and
fish lightly with a little oil or melted
butter to keep them moist during
cooking.
•
Accompaniments such as
tomatoes and mushrooms may be
placed underneath the grid when
grilling meats.
•
When toasting bread, use the shelf
in position 5 with the grid in the
‘high’ position.
•
Preheat the grill on a full setting for
a few minutes before sealing
steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat
setting and the shelf as necessary
during cooking.
•
The food should be turned over
during cooking as required.
Hints and tips when using the top
oven
•
Arrange the shelves in the required
positions before switching the oven
on. Shelf positions are counted
from the bottom upwards.
•
There should always be at least
2.5cm (1”) between the top of the
food and the element. This gives
best cooking results and allows
room for rise in yeast mixtures,
Yorkshire puddings etc. When
cooking cakes, pastry, scones
bread etc., place the tins or baking
trays centrally on the shelf.
