COOKING TECHNIQUES & TIPS
PAge heAder.....
BAKING
Recommended temperature probe setting:
SEAR
The skillet can be used for baking cakes
or self-saucing puddings.
•
Preheat the skillet on SEAR setting
for 15 minutes with the lid on. Place
wire rack into the base of the pan to
elevate the cake away from the base
of the skillet.
•
Place the cake onto the wire rack
and cook with the lid on.
SIMMERING
Recommended temperature control probe
setting: 6–8
•
Used for cooking casseroles, stews
and reducing and thickening sauces.
•
Simmering food is to cook food in
liquid between a temperature range
of 185°F–205°F (85°C–96°C).
•
Bubbles should be small and just
breaking through the surface.
•
For best simmering results, the skillet
should have a minimum of 3 quarts
of combined food and liquid.
•
Simmering can be achieved with
and without the lid on.
•
Follow cooking instructions as per
recipe. Reduce temperature setting
to 6–8. The skillet will cycle on and
off in short bursts.
•
Food should be stirred occasionally
to allow food to be cooked evenly.

STEAMING
Recommended temperature control probe
setting: 8–10
•
Steaming is the healthiest of cooking
techniques. It retains the food's texture,
flavor, vitamins and minerals which may
otherwise be lost in the cooking water.
•
Steaming consists of cooking food by
setting it above a hot boiling liquid, and
letting the steam from the liquid literally
cook the food.
•
When steaming always make sure that
the water never comes in contact with
the food.
•
Always line a plate or tray with baking
paper or cabbage leaves. This keeps
the food from sticking to the plate and
coming in contact with the water.
•
Always fill the skillet with a minimum
of 1–2 quarts of water.
•
Do not allow the skillet to boil dry
•
Check water levels during cooking
and refill with boiling water to prevent
skillet from boiling dry.
•
To steam; fill the skillet with cold water.
Set temperature probe to SEAR setting
and place wire rack into the base.
•
Line a plate with baking paper or
cabbage leaves and place food on top.
Position plate or tray onto wire rack
and cover with lid.
•
Bring water to the boil and reduce
probe to setting 8–10.
•
Be careful when dealing with steam.
When lifting the lid, steam can scald
and burn.
