Note: The temperature settings are a guide only and may require adjustment to suit various foods and individual tastes. When the dial is set to a low setting, it is quite normal for food to stop and start bubbling, as the thermostat maintains the selected temperature.

Using your Ellise® Cookware
Before the first use: Ensure all stickers are removed from the product. Wash in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry your pan and lid.
Note: We recommend 'seasoning' the pan before use. Lightly heat the pan on setting 5 for 1 minute only, without adding oil. Turn off the heat and remove the probe. Then rub a small amount of oil into the cooking surface with paper towelling.
1.Insert the Control Probe into the inlet on the cookware.
2.Plug the cord into a 230-240V power outlet and turn the power on.
3.Pre-heat the cookware to setting 12-13. Then set the Control Probe Dial to the desired temperature setting. Refer to page 9 for the temperature guide.
The light on the control probe will illuminate. This light will remain on until the set temperature has been reached and then will cycle on and off throughout cooking, as the cooking temperature is maintained by the thermostat.
Hint: On initial heating of the cookware, it is recommended that the temperature be allowed to cycle (the light glowing on and off) several times. This will help the cooking surface to adjust to a more accurate cooking temperature.
Note: The cookware must only be used with the Control Probe provided.

Cooking with your FP8950 Ellise® Stainless Steel Frypan
Baking
Your frypan can be used for baking cakes, with deliciously moist results.
1.Preheat the frypan to setting 15, 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 9. 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 9. 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 12-13. Add approximately 1-2 tablespoons of oil.
2.Brown meat on all sides, with the lid off.
3.After sealing, reduce the temperature to settings 6-7 and replace the lid until the meat is cooked as desired. Steaks should only require turning once or twice.

Cooking with your FP8950 Ellise® Stainless Steel Frypan continued
Frying
The frypan is ideal for shallow or dry frying.
Deep frying is not particularly suitable as the frypan has shallow sides and a greater surface area, which results in heat loss and the possible overflow of oil.
Pan Frying: Suitable for eggs, omelettes, bacon, sausages, steaks and chicken pieces. Preheat to settings 8-9 with a little oil to add flavour.
Shallow Frying: Suitable for vegetable pieces e.g roast pumpkin and potato, and crumbed food. Preheat on settings 9-11 with sufficient oil so that the food is half immersed. Cook food with the lid off.
Sautéeing: Preheat on settings 8-9 with a little oil to add flavour.
Stir Frying: Food is cooked quickly, over a high heat and vegetables retain their flavour and crispness. For best results and even cooking, cut food into even sized, smaller pieces.
1.Preheat the frypan on settings 12-13 with a little oil.
2.Slice meat into strips. Coat meat in a little oil and stir-fry in batches until browned. This prevents meat from stewing.
3.Add vegetables and seasoning, stirring continuously. Vegetables which take longer to cook, such as carrots, should be cooked first, adding the other ingredients later.
Cook until the vegetables are still slightly crisp. Return the meat back into the pan when the vegetables are almost cooked.
The lid can be in position in the last few minutes of cooking.
Roasting
Meat and poultry: The frypan is ideal for roasting meat and poultry, as the meat retains the flavour and juices.
1.Preheat the frypan on settings 12-13. Use only a small amount of oil for less fatty joints and no oil for fattier joints of meat.
2.Brown and seal the meat on all sides and position the lid.
3.After browning, turn the dial to settings 6-7 to cook the meat as desired. Turn meat occasionally during cooking to ensure even cooking.
4.Remove meat from pan and cover with foil. Allow meat to rest for 5-10 minutes, meanwhile you can make a gravy from the juices in the frypan.
Vegetables: Cut into even sized pieces. Add to the frypan 45-60 minutes before serving.
For crisper vegetables, remove the meat and increase the heat for the last few minutes of cooking.
Roasting Times:
Note: These times are for well done. Reduce the times to suit personal taste.
PORK: 30-40 minutes per 500g after browning. VEAL: 30-40 minutes per 500g after browning.
LAMB: 25-30 minutes per 500g after browning.
CHICKEN: 30-35 minutes per 500g after browning.

Cooking with your SK6450 Ellise® Stainless Steel Skillet
Frying
The skillet is ideal for shallow or dry frying. Deep frying is not suitable as the skillet has shallow sides and a greater surface area, which results in heat loss and the possible overflow of oil.
Pan Frying: Suitable for eggs, omelettes, bacon, sausages, steaks and chicken pieces. Pre-heat to settings 8-9 with a little oil
to add flavour. Steaks should only require turning once or twice.
Tip: A good suggestion is to lightly coat the meat with the oil, this helps to reduce the amount of oil needed, and stops spattering of excess oil.
Shallow Frying: Suitable for vegetable pieces e.g roast pumpkin and potato, and crumbed food. Pre-heat on settings 9-11 with sufficient oil so that the food is half immersed. Cook food with the lid off.
Sauteéing: Pre-heat on settings 8-9 with a little oil to add flavour.
