Cooking Tips
• When the the boiling begins, reduce the temperature.
• Using a lid reduces the cooking times and saves energy by retaining
the heat.
• Minimizing the amount of liquid or fat reduces cooking times.
• Start cooking on a high setting and reduce it when the food is
completely heated.
Simmering, cooking rice
• Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85 ˚C, when
bubbles are rising only occasionally to the surface. 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 higher setting to ensure that the food is cooked properly in
the recommended time.
Searing steak
To cook juicy flavoursome steaks:
1. Place 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.
