T
he most popular method of cooking vegetables in the Superchef is by
steaming. Simply wash and prepare the vegetables as normal then wrap the
different types of vegetables in foil and arrange the foil 'packets' on the low
rack so that there is at least a 1cm gap between them. Set the temperature to
220
°
. The cooking time is typically 10-15 minutes.
Tips:
For best results wrap the washed vegetables in foil while they are still
wet. The steam generated from this will be sufficient to cook them. If you have
a lot of different vegetables to cook you can use the high rack as well and
cook on two levels. Remember that the temperature is slightly higher nearer
the turbo fan so put the slower cooking vegetables on the high rack.
CAKES
P
reheat the oven to 220/230
°
for 3 minutes. When selecting an appropriate
cake tin to use, be sure that it will fit comfortably in the bowl. Use the extender
ring if necessary. Always place the cake tin on the low rack never directly onto
the bottom of the bowl. When using cake recipes from elsewhere deduct 10
°
from recommended cooking temperature. Cooking time depends entirely upon
the size of cake you are making but it is easy to monitor its progress with the
see-through glass bowl.
BISCUITS & PASTRIES
U
se the perforated tray and place it on the high rack. If you have your own
perforated tray that will sit comfortably on the low rack you can use that as
well and cook on two levels. Don't forget to lightly grease the trays first. The
best temperature for biscuits and pastries is 220-230
°
. Cooking time varies
but is generally 12-15 minutes for biscuits.
PIES
P
re-cooked (unfrozen) pies couldn't be easier. Place on high rack and cook
for 8-12 minutes at 220
°
(why not put some oven chips in the tray on the low
rack at the same time). Frozen or uncooked pies use the same position and
temperature but increase the cooking time usually to 20-25 minutes. This can
vary depending on the size and content of the pie. The pastry from pies
cooked in the Superchef is superb!
EGGS
H
ard or soft-boiled eggs are unbelievably easy in the Superchef. For a start,
there's no boiling involved! Simply place up to 6 eggs into the tray and put the
tray on the high rack. Set the temperature to 200
