Easy Tips for Better Cooking
1. Read the entire recipe before beginning to work. Assemble and
prepare all ingredients. Follow recipe step-by-step.
2. Before putting the pan on the heat, prepare all ingredients and
keep spatula, utensils, serving plate etc. ready in the cooking area. If
you are looking for things once the pan is on the heat, it can overheat
quickly and destroy the nonstick coating.
3. See Measurements page 6 for information on weights and
measures.
4. Unless otherwise noted, in the recipes:
•
All foods are to be appropriately cleaned and washed.
•
Onions, potatoes, garlic and fresh ginger are to be peeled.
5. For Users Outside India: In the recipes, size descriptions of
ingredients refer to food available in India. Outside India, follow the
weights rather than the size descriptions.
6. All Hindi words used in the recipes are translated to English on
page 17 or explained in the Glossary . If you come across a word you
do not know, check
Glossary
page 16.
7. Time and heat settings in these recipes refer to the large burner
of an efficient domestic gas stove. (For a 22 cm diameter pan, use the
small burner.) You may have to adjust these times and settings to suit
your stove. For best cooking results, adjust the heat so that cooking
times are the same as those given in the recipes. You will be helped in
making these adjustments by the steps and indications given in
various recipes (for example, stir fry till onion is transparent). Avoid
high temperatures for the best cooking results, conserving fuel and
preserving the life of the nonstick coating.
8. Certain recipes specify “medium-high” or “medium-low” heat
setting. By “medium-high” we mean a setting between medium and
high. By “medium-low” we mean a setting between medium and low.
9. Adding a little oil or butter to the pan may enhance the colour,
taste and texture of many foods.
10. Eggs and batters should be at room temperature before frying.
11. To ensure even cooking, shape foods (such as patties) evenly and
slice foods (such as potatoes) evenly.
12. Do not heat oil till it is smoky. It damages the oil and will burn
the food.
13.
The nonstick coating of the pan retards browning somewhat in
certain foods. For browner results, try cooking slightly longer. Do not
use high heat.
14. For crispy, light crusts on food such as alu tikki , fried fish and
kheema kebab , adjust heat so that food bubbles and sizzles gently as
it cooks in the oil.
15. When frying delicate foods such as uttapam , pancakes, hash
brown potatoes and fish, the food should be turned once; when the
first side is browned to the desired degree, turn and brown the other side.
16. Some recipes require the use of a lid on the pan while cooking.
We supply a specially designed stainless steel lid for the Futura
Nonstick Frying Pan as an optional extra item. Some pans are also
available with a heat-proof glass lid with a stainless steel rim.
