General Operating Instructions
Induction Cooktop Tips
When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting. Using a lid will
reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat. Minimise 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.
Simmering & Cooking Rice
Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 185°F, when bubbles are just
rising occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious
soups and tender stews because 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.
Stir-Frying
When stir-frying be careful to lift the pan clear of the surface if tossing the
ingredients. Sliding the pan across the cooktop surface may scratch it.
