WARNING!

Be very careful when frying, because oil and fat heat up very fast especially when operating a high power level. Extremely hot oil and fat inflame spontaneously and represent a serious fire risk.

Cooking tips

➢ Decrease the power level as soon as the desired cooking temperature is reached.
➢ Use pot-lids to shorten cooking times and save energy.
➢ Minimize the amount of cooking liquids or fat/oil to shorten cooking times.
➢ Select a high power level, when you start cooking. Reduce the power level, when your food has been heated up.

Simmering/cooking of rice

Simmering is cooking with a temperature of approx. 85^ . At this temperature small bubbles ascend to the surface of the cooking liquid. Simmering is a perfect way to cook delicious soups and stews as the flavours of the food unfold completely without being over-heated. You should also cook egg-based sauces and sauces thickened with flour in this way.
Some cooking procedures, including the cooking of rice with the absorption-method (= the water is consumed completely), require a setting above the lowest power level, so the food is cooked within the recommended cooking time.

Steaks

1. Take the meat out of the fridge and let it rest at room temperature for approx. 20 minutes.
2. Heat up a pan with a heavy base.
3. Rub both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and place the steak into the pan.
4. Turn the meat just once while cooking. The exact cooking time depends from the size of your steak and your individual preferences (medium, medium rare etc.). So the cooking time of each side may vary from 2 to 8 minutes. Press the steak to check the cooking result - a firm steak is well done.
5. Leave the steak on a warm plate for a few minutes; so it will become tender.

Asian-style cooking

1. Choose a wok with a flat base or a big pan.

2. Prepare all ingredients and the cooking utensils you need. Asian-style cooking should work fast. If you want to cook a big amount of food, you should divide the food into several portions.

3. Preheat the wok/pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook the meat first. Put it aside and keep it warm.
5. Now cook the vegetable. When the vegetable is hot but still crisp, reduce the power level. Add the meat and, if desired, a sauce.
6. Sauté the complete food carefully so all components are hot.
7. Serve immediately.
