Cooking
Cooking times:
these vary according to the temperature or the size and type of the ingredients
used� A winter carrot, for instance, will take longer to cook than a new carrot� Always check
and extend cookings times if required�
Milk:
use milk at room temperature rather than cold milk which tends to stick more�
Simmering:
do not dice ingredients too finely or they may breakdown during cooking�
Liquid preparations (e�g� curry):
when you add ingredients such as chicken and prawns,
cook at speed 0 (EXPERT programme) to avoid them being broken down�
Even cooking:
cut ingredients into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking�
To rescue a sauce:
if a sauce has curdled (e�g� custard), switch to EXPERT, 1 minute/speed 13
(without heating) to keep blending�
Keep-warm function
2 hours:
Food can be kept warm in the metal bowl for up to 2 hours without using any
electricity�
Lid
Removing the lid:
to prevent the lid from dripping on the worktop, check that the cap is
properly screwed on, then lift the lid and immediately turn it upside down over the bowl
before setting it upside down on the worktop�
Using the 2-in-1 spatula
2-in-1 spatula:
The spatula has a silicone part for mixing ingredients and a metal part for
scraping the bowl if food is stuck to the bottom�
