COOKING TIPS AND HEATING CAPACITY TABLE

CAUTION
Fire hazard! Be extremely careful when heating oil or fat at a very
high power level. At high temperatures, oil and grease can ignite
spontaneously and pose a high fi re hazard!
Cooking tips
• As soon as the food is cooking, reduce the temperature.
• Use a lid to reduce cooking time and save energy.
• To reduce cooking time, do not use more fat and water than necessary.
• Start with a high temperature and reduce it as soon as the food is warm.
Simmering and cooking rice
• Simmering is heating the food below the boiling point at about 85 °C, a
temperature at which bubbles just start to form. Only let soups and stews
simmer, as this is the best way for the fl avour to develop and the food not to
be overcooked. Sauces with eggs or fl our should also only simmer.
• Some recipes that absorb water - such as cooking rice - require the
temperature to be higher than the lowest setting so that the food is well
cooked and is done in the appropriate amount of time.
How to prepare steaks properly
• Leave the meat at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Heat up a frying pan with a thick bottom.
• Coat both sides of the steak with oil, add some oil to the pan and place the
meat in it.
• Turn the steak over only once during frying and fry until it has reached the
desired level of cooking, which can take between 2-8 minutes per side. Press
your fi nger on the steak to check how well cooked it is. The fi rmer it is, the
cooker it is.
• Let the steak rest in a warm place for a few minutes before serving.
Frying in the wok (stir-fry)
• Choose a suitable fl at-bottomed wok or a large frying pan.
• Have all the ingredients and utensils ready. Stir-frying should be done quickly.
If you are preparing large quantities, fry the food in several smaller portions.
• Heat the pan briefl y and add two tablespoons of oil.
• Fry the meat fi rst, then set aside and keep warm.
• Fry the vegetables while stirring. When it is hot but still crisp, turn the cooking
zone to a lower setting, return the meat to the pan and add the sauce.
• Stir the ingredients gently to ensure that they are cooked through.
• Serve the food immediately.
