Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re
using Boost. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously
and this presents a serious fire risk.
Cooking Tips
•When food comes to the boil, reduce the power setting.
•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.
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. You
should also cook egg-based and flourthickened 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.
Searing steak
To cook juicy flavoursome steaks:
1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.

16
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.
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 briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook any meat first, put it aside and keep warm.
5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the cooking zone to a
lower setting, 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.

Care and Cleaning
What?
How?
Important!
Everyday soiling on glass
(fingerprints, marks,
stains left by food or
non-sugary spillovers on
the glass)
1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.
2. Apply a cooktop cleaner while the
glass is still warm (but not hot!)
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth or paper towel.
4. Switch the power to the cooktop
back on.
•When the power to the cooktop is
switched off, there will be no ‘hot
surface’ indication but the cooking
zone may still be hot! Take extreme
care.
•Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon
scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning
agents may scratch the glass. Always
read the label to check if your cleaner
or scourer is suitable.
•Never leave cleaning residue on the
cooktop: the glass may become
stained.
Boilovers, melts, and
hot sugary spills on
the glass
Remove these immediately with a fish
slice, palette knife or razor blade
scraper suitable for ceramic glass
cooktops, but beware of hot cooking
zone surfaces:
1. Switch the power to the cooktop off
at the wall.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a 30°
angle and scrape the soiling or spill
to a cool area of the cooktop.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up with a
dish cloth or paper towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for ‘Everyday
soiling on glass’ above.
•Remove stains left by melts and
sugary food or spillovers as soon
as possible. If left to cool on the
glass, they may be difficult to
remove or even permanently
damage the glass surface.
•Cut hazard: when the safety cover
is retracted, the blade in a scraper
is razor-sharp. Use with extreme
care and always store safely and
out of reach of children.
Spillovers on the
touch controls
1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.
2. Soak up the spill
3. Wipe the touch control area with a
clean damp sponge or cloth.
4. Wipe the area completely dry
with a paper towel.
5. Switch the power to the cooktop
back on.
•The cooktop may beep and turn
itself off, and the touch controls
may not function while there is
liquid on them. Make sure you wipe
the touch control area dry before
turning the cooktop back on.
