Baking
Your frypan can be used for baking cakes,
with deliciously moist results.
1. Preheat 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
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.
Boiling
Pasta
1. Bring 6 cups of water to the boil on
setting 5. Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to
stop the pasta from sticking together.
2. Add 250g (1½ cups) of pasta and cook
until tender, for approximately 8-12
minutes.
3. Reduce to a lower setting if the water
boils too rapidly.
Note: Cooking times will vary with different
types of pasta.
Rice
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
It is necessary to brown and seal meat in
many recipes. Meat retains its 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. Preheat the frypan to settings 7-8. If
using an aluminium or stainless steel
frypan, preheat with approximately 1-2
tablespoons of oil.
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.
