Hints & Tips
• Meat can be used chilled from the fridge, but do not use frozen meat.
• Make sure all frozen ingredients are thoroughly thawed before use.
• Do not over fill the pan, as the recipes in this instruction booklet are designed for maximum
capacity, and allows room above the food for even cooking.
• The lid will become very hot in use, especially the glass window and the stainless steel rim. The
silicon insulated handles will stay cool, allowing you to lift the lid with.
• Ham joints should be left in the plastic wrapper, if supplied.
• When you have become experienced at using your Wok, you can begin to create your own recipes,
but it is advisable to follow an existing recipe as a guide. If using ingredients such as milk, cream,
sea food or shell fish in a recipe, these should be added 30 minutes towards the end of the cooking
of the other ingredients. Coconut milk does not apply.
• Where stock is required, use boiling water.
• Uncooked red kidney beans must be soaked and boiled for 10 minutes to remove toxins before use.
• If required pour off excess oil after browning.

Explanation of Terms

Browning/Sealing:
Some recipes require the meat to be browned/sealed firstly. This means to cook the meat lightly
on the outside in hot oil before starting the stewing or slow cooking process (the meat should
still be raw in the middle). Sealing / browning your meat in this way helps it to retain flavour as
well as moisture.

on the probe will illuminate and will remain illuminated until the roasting skillet reaches temperature.
