Cooking Guidelines
General Cooking Tips
• Always place a (filled) pot on the cooking zone first before switching it on.
Do not heat up a cooking zone without pot or pan, or with an empty pot.
Do not let pots boil dry.
• 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.
• When food comes to the boil, reduce the power setting.
• Do not leave pans with dishes based on fats and oils unattended on a
switched-on cooking zone as hot fat can spontaneously catch fire.
• Never use a cooking zone to warm plates.
• Always switch off the cooking zone before removing the pot or pan.
Preventing Spillage
• Take care when cooking to prevent liquids spilling onto the ceramic
cooktop surface.
• Food or liquid with a high sugar content may damage the cooktop if it comes
into contact with the ceramic cooktop surface. Wipe up any spillages imme-
diately; however, this may not prevent the cooktop surface from becoming
damaged, so take utmost care.
Searing Steak
Follow the steps below to cook juicy, flavoursome steak.
1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat up a heavy-based fry 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 into 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.
