4.1 Cooking Tips
 When food comes to the boil, reduce the power setting as needed to maintain a steady boil.
 Using a lid will reduce cooking times on some dishes and save energy by retaining the heat.
4.1.1 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.
4.1.2 Searing steak
To cook juicy flavoursome 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.
4. Turn the steak as required 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.
4.1.3 For stir-frying
1. Choose a ceramic 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 and add oil.
4. Cook any meat first, put it aside and keep warm.
5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp 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.
5. Heat Settings
The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several factors, including your
cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the
Ceramic hob to find the settings that best
suit you.
