Cooking guidelines-
Takecarewhenfryingastheoilandfatheatupveryquickly,particularlyifyou’reusing
powerboost.Atextremelyhightemperaturesoilandfatwillignitespontaneouslyandthis
presentsaserious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
• 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avoursdevelopwithoutovercookingthefood.Youshouldalsocook
 egg-basedand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.
Searing steak-
To cook juicy avoursome steaks:
1.Standthemeatatroomtemperatureforabout20minutesbeforecooking
2.Heatupaheavy-basedfryingpan
3.Brushbothsidesifthesteakwithoil.Drizzleasmallamountofoilintothehotpanand
 thenlowerthemeatontoit.
4.Turnthesteakonlyone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rmer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at-basedwokoralargefryingpan.
2.Havealltheingredientsandequipmentready.Stir-fryingshouldbequick.Ifcookinginlarge
 quantities,cookthefoodinseveralsmallerbatches.
3.Preheatthepanbrieyandadd2tablespoonsofoil.
4.Cookanymeatrst,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
