Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very
quickly, particularly if you’re using PowerBoost. At
extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite
spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.
COOKING 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.
• 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.
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.
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.
For stir-frying
1. Choose an induction 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.
3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of
oil.
4. Cook any meat first, put it aside and keep warm.
5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still
crisp, turn the cooking zone to a lower setting, return
the meat to the pan and add your sauce.
6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are
heated through.
7. Serve immediately.

The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting
