Cooking Guidelines
Cook ing Tips
• When food com es t o t he boil, reduce t he power set t ing.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking t im es and save energy by retaining t he heat.
• Minim ise t he am ount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking t im es.
• St art cooking on a high setting and reduce the set t ing when t he food has
heated through.
Sim m erin g, cooking rice

rising occasionally t o t he surface of t he cooking liquid. I t is the key t o delicious
17
(set to 5 minutes) (set to 15 minutes)

soups and t ender st ews because t he flavours develop wit hout overcooking the
food. You should also cook egg- based and f lourt hick ened sauces below boiling
point .
• Som e t ask s, including cooking rice by t he absorpt ion m et hod, m ay require a

hot pan and t hen lower the m eat onto t he hot pan.
4. Turn t he steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking t im e will depend
on t he t hickness of the st eak and how cooked you want it. Tim es m ay vary
from about 2 – 8 m inutes per side. Press the steak to gauge how cooked it
is – t he firm er it feels t he m ore ‘well done’ it will be.
5. Leave the st eak t o rest on a warm plate for a few m inut es to allow it to relax
and becom e t ender before serv ing.
For st ir - frying
