If it is not hot enough, the meat will lose too much juice and become tough. ­ For frying, only use the minimum amount of oil or fat. With marinated food, no fat or oil is needed. Wait until the temperature indicator light has gone out before adding cooking fat. ­ Only use fats and oils which can be heated to high temperatures. ­ Marinating meat helps tenderise the meat as well as provide extra flavour. ­ Pat wet food dry with kitchen paper before cooking to prevent it spitting. ­ To prevent meat drying out, do not season with salt until after it has been cooked. ­ Thicker cuts should be cooked first on a high heat and then finished on a lower setting. ­ Any residues which have stuck to the tepan plate can be used to make a sauce. Add a little water, stock or wine and loosen with a heat-resistant spatula. 15 Cleaning and care Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance.
