COOKING GUIDELINES
WARNING
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly,
particularly if you are using PowerBoost. At extremely high
temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a
serious fi re 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 fl avours develop without overcooking the food.
You should also cook egg-based and fl our 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.
