Cooking times in the following recipes serve as a guide only.The quality of the meat, freshness and ripeness of the vegetables, the size and the starting temperature of foods could cause the time to vary.

Foods, which overcook easily, should be removed form the Combi-Steamer/Frypan as cooking is finished.

Shallow frying

Recommended temperature control setting: 6 – 8 Less oil is used (about 1.5cm) for shallow frying and the food is usually cooked at a lower temperature so that a delicious brown crust forms on the underside.The food is then turned over and the process is repeated.

Pan-Frying

Recommended temperature control setting: 4 – 6

Little or no fat is used, depending on the fat content of the food.When frying, it is important not to crowd the pan: food will then stew rather than brown

Roasting

Recommended temperature control setting: 10 & 3

The meat is first browned in a little fat or oil on No. 10,then roasted using the steaming rack, (roasting position) with the temperature control probe on No. 3 and the lid on.The roast then needs to be and basted occasionally.

Boiling

Recommended temperature control setting: 4

Boiling can be a very nutritious way of serving fresh vegetables if it is done properly.Always have the water boiling and add some salt before adding the vegetables. In order that heat penetrates quickly, boil the vegetables in small batches. Use the liquid after boiling for soups or gravies.
