Cooking Guidelines Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using PowerBoost. At extremely high termperatures 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 cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat. • Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
1. Choose a 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.
