Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require
a higher power level to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time
recommended.
Searing steak
To cook juicy, flavourful steaks:
1.
Leave the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2.
Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
3.
Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the
hot pan and then lower the meat onto the hot pan.
4.
Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will
depend on the thickness of the steak and how you like it cooked. Times
may vary from about 2 to 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to gauge how
cooked it is – the firmer it feels the more 'well done' it will be.
5.
Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to
relax and become tender before serving.
For stir-frying
1.
Choose an induction compatible flat bottom pan.
2.
Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick.
If cooking large quantities.
3.
Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4.
Cook any meat first and then put it aside and keep warm.
5.
Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the cooking
zone to a lower power level, return the meat to the pan and add your sauce.
6.
Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7.
Serve immediately.
