Youshould also cook egg-based and flour-thickened sauces belowboiling point.o Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method,may require a slightly higher power setting to ensure the food iscooked properly in the recommended time.S earing steaktes before cooking.o To cook juicy and flavoursome steaks you should stand the meatat room temperature for about 20 minu17

o Heat up a heavy-based frying pan. Brush both sides of the steakwith oil and drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan andthen lower the meat into the hot pan.o Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking timewill depend on the thickness of the steak and how well cookedyou want it. Times may vary from about 2 – 8 minutes per side.Press the steak to gauge how cooked it is. The firmer it feels, themore “well done” it will be.o Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes toallow it to relax and become tender before serving.S tir-fryingo Choose a suitableflat-based wok or a large frying pan.o Stir-frying should be quick so have all the ingredients andequipment ready.o If you are cooking large quantities, cook the food in severalsmaller batches.o Preheat the pan brieflyand add two tablespoons of oil.o Cook any meat first and then put it aside and keep warm.o Stir-fry the vegetables and when they are hot but still crisp, turnthe cooking zone to a lower setting. Return the meat to the panand add your sauce.oStir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heatedthrough.o Serveimmediately.Hob guidelineso The first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid,burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeateduse.o The worktop is fitted with cooking areas of different diameterand power.o The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly markedon the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly onthese zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have thesame diameter as the cooking zone that they are being used on.18

o You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this canscratch the ceramic surface.o Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans areclean and dry.o When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, asthey expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. Thiswill allow the heat to transfer more easily.o The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm ofenamelled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwichtype bottoms.o If these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss ofheat and energy. Heat not absorbed by the saucepan, will spreadto the hob, frame and surrounding cabinets.o Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lowerheat.o Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in asreduce cooking times.little water too Food or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hobtop if it comes into contact with the ceramic hob surface.
