COOKING TECHNIQUES & TIPS
MEAT AND POULTRY
The frypan is ideal for roasting meat and
poultry, as the meat retains the flavour and
juices.
The frypan’s dome lid allows for larger joints
of meat and poultry of up to about 1.5kg to
be cooked.
Preheat the frypan on setting 14-SEAR
Fattier joints of meat such as lamb
require a small amount of oil.
Brown and seal the meat on all sides.
Cover with lid.
After browning, turn the dial down
to setting 6-8 and cook to desired
doneness.
Turn the meat over during the cooking
time.
Once the meat is cooked, set aside and
cover loosely with foil, whilst the gravy
is prepared from the pan juices.
To make gravy: Drain excess oil from
pan, stir 1-2 tablespoons of plain flour
into pan residue, cook for 1-2 minutes.
Reduce heat to setting 8, gradually add
1-2 cups stock. Increase heat setting to
10 and stir gravy continuously until it
comes to the boil. Reduce heat to setting
6 and simmer 3-4 minutes until gravy
thickens. Serve immediately with sliced
roast meat.
VEGETABLES
Cut into even sized pieces.
Add to the frypan 40-65 minutes before
serving.
For crispier vegetables, remove the meat
and increase the heat for the last few
minutes before cooking.
