OPERATION
Frying in the pan
Using tongs or a spatula, place the food you want to cook
•
onto the surface of the pan.
Never use fingers to place or remove food.
The food will start to cook.
The lid can be used to cover the pan and prevent splashing.
Turn the vent control to the ‘OPEN’ position if using the lid when
frying.
Monitor the cooking process and turn the food occasionally
•
to cook it on all sides.
Some suggested cooking temperatures and times are shown on
the next page as a guide.
When the food is cooked, remove it with tongs or a spatula.
•
If you are not sure when food is cooked through, remove it
from the pan and cut it open or use a thermometer to check the
temperature in the centre of the food.
Braising or stewing in the pan
You can also braise or stew in the pan.
Prepare your meat and/or vegetables for braising/stewing.
•
Follow the instructions in the previous section if you want to
•
fry any of the ingredients first to brown and seal them.
When the ingredients are browned, add the remaining
•
ingredients including any stock or water and cover the pan
with the lid.
Turn the vent control to the ‘CLOSED’ position to retain the
•
liquid in your cooking.
Reduce the temperature to the lowest setting and leave the
•
ingredients to cook.
If there is too much liquid remaining in the pan when the
•
ingredients are cooked, increase the temperature setting
and set the vent control to the ‘OPEN’ position to reduce the
liquid.
Monitor the liquid level carefully during this cooking phase so
that you can stop cooking when necessary.
