(for example, zone 2# setting time of 3 minutes, zone 3# setting time
of 6 minutes, the timer indicator will show "3".)
NOTE: The red dot next to the power level indicator will flash.
2. When the cooking timer runs out, the corresponding
cooking zone will be switched off automatically.
NOTE: If you want to change the time after the timer is set, you must
start from step 1.
cooking tips
• When food comes to the boil, reduce the power setting.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining
the heat.
• Minimize 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
flavors develop without the food being overcooked. You should also
cook egg-based and flour-thickened sauces below boiling point.
• Some tasks, including cooking rice using the absorption method,
may require a setting higher than the lowest setting to ensure the
food is properly cooked in the recommended time.
Searing steak
To cook juicy flavorsome steaks:
1. leave 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 then lower the meat onto the hot pan.
4. only turn the steak once during cooking. The exact cooking time
will depend on the thickness of the steak and how you want it
cooked. Times may vary from about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press
the steak to gauge how cooked it is – the firmer 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.
