Hints and Tips Oven Cooking · Turn off the oven 5 minutes before the end of cooking time, and use residual heat to complete the cooking. · The thickness, the material and the colour of the pan will influence the cooking results. · When cooking, certain dishes increase in volume, ensure the pan is large enough. · To prevent fat dripping when roasting use tall rim pans proportional to the item being roasted. · Prick the skin of poultry and sausages with a fork before cooking to avoid spitting. Use heatproof glass dishes for soufflés.

Rapid Hotplate (Front left) The rapid hotplates indicated by a red spot, will heat up more quickly than a normal plate. Over a period of time the red spot may disappear, this will not affect the performance of the hotplate. It is important to note that the hotplate may smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after some time. Do not put anything on the hob that is liable to melt. Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are given in the following table: OFF Very Gentle Gentle Slow Medium High Fast 0 1 To keep food warm To melt butter and chocolate 2 To prepare cream-sauces, stews and milk puddings or to fry eggs 3 Dried vegetables, frozen food, fruit, boiling water or milk potatoes, fresh 4 Boiled vegetables, pâtés, soups, broths, pancakes or fish 5 Larger stews, meat roll, fish, omelettes, steaks 6 Steaks, escalopes and frying 12 Hints and Tips Saucepans for use on solid hotplates should have several characteristics: · They should be fairly heavy duty. · They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller. · They should have a flat base to ensure good contact with the hotplate.
