Baking
(Models FP5500/FP5600/FP5610/FP5700/FP5900/FP5910)
Your frypan can be used for baking cakes,
with deliciously moist results.
1. Pre-heat the frypan to setting 10,
with the lid on.
2. Elevate the cake pan or tray from the
base of the frypan using a small wire
rack.
Cooking times will be longer than those of a
conventional oven. Use the recipes in this
book as a guide to the cooking times for your
own recipes.
Basting
(Models FP5500/FP5600/FP5610/FP5700/FP5900/FP5910)
The Pan Tilt Lever makes basting easy as it
allows the juices to drain to one side of the
pan. Reduce the temperature to prevent any
fat and juices spattering. Position the Pan
Tilt Lever and spoon the juices over the food
as desired.

Rice
(Models FP5500/FP5600/FP5610/FP5700/FP5910)
1. Bring 6 cups of water to the boil on
setting 5. Add 200g (1 cup) of rice and
position the lid.
2. Cook until tender, approximately 10-12
minutes, and then drain.
3. Reduce to a lower setting if the water
boils too rapidly. Stir occasionally so that
the rice does not stick.
Browning and Sealing Meat
(All models)
It is necessary to brown and seal meat in
many recipes. Meat retains it’s juices and the
flavours develop after browning and sealing.
This also prevents it from sticking when
baking or roasting. Preferably use meat that
is at room temperature, as this reduces the
cooking time.
1. Pre-heat the frypan to settings 7-8.
2. Brown meat on all sides, with the lid off.
3. After sealing, reduce the temperature to
settings 4-5 and replace the lid until the
meat is cooked as desired. Steaks should
only require turning once or twice.
