Residual Heat Warning
When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat. The letter “ H ”appears
to warn you to keep away from it.
3.3.8
Default working times
Another safety feature of the hob is automatic shutdown. This occurs whenever you forget to switch off a
cooking zone. The default shutdown times are shown in the table below:

Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you‟re using Power
Boost. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a
serious fire risk.
4.1
Cooking Tips
When food comes to the boil, reduce the power setting.
Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.
4.1.1
Simmering, cooking rice
Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85˚C, when bubbles are just rising occasionally to
the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the
flavours develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and flour thickened
sauces below boiling point.
Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than the
lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.
4.1.2
Searing steak
To cook juicy flavorsome steaks:
1.
Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2.
Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
3.
Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and then lower the
meat onto the hot pan.
4.
Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the
steak and how cooked you want it. Times may vary from about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press the steak
to gauge how cooked it is – the firmer it feels the more „well done‟ it will be.
5.
Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender
before serving.
4.1.3
For stir-frying
1.
Choose an ceramic compatible flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
2.
Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If cooking large quantities,
cook the food in several smaller batches.
