Cooking Guidelines

WARNING

Take care when frying as the oil and fat will heat up very quickly, particularly if cooking at high power levels. 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 temperature setting.
• Using a lid will reduce the cooking time and save energy by retaining the heat.
• Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce the cooking time.
• Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has been 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 fl avours develop without overcooking the food. Egg-based and fl our thickened sauces should be cooked below boiling temperature.
• Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than the recommended setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.

Searing steak

• To cook juicy fl 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 of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and put the meat in the hot pan.
4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steak and desired tenderness. The cooking time may vary from about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to judge how cooked it is; the firmer it feels the more ‘well done’ it is.
5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to rest and become tender before serving.

For stir-frying

1. Choose a flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
2. Be ready with all the ingredients and equipment. 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 pan and add seasoning.
6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7. Serve immediately.

Power level

The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several factors, including type of cookware used and the cooking portion. Experiment with the Ceramic Hob to find the best setting.

Power level Suitable cooking mode
1-2	Delicate warming for small amounts of foodMelting chocolate, butter, and foods that burn quicklyGentle simmeringSlow warming
