Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as
the oil and fat heat up very
quickly, particularly if you're
using PowerBoost. At extremely
high temperatures oil and fat will
ignite spontaneously and this
presents a serious fire risk.
Cooking Tips
• When food comes to the boil,
reduce the temperature setting.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking
times and save energy by retaining
the heat.
• Minimize the amount of liquid or
fat to reduce cooking times.
• Start cooking on a high setting
and reduce the setting when the
food has heated through.
1. Simmering, cooking rice
• Simmering occurs below boiling
point, at around 85˚C, when
bubbles are just rising occasionally
to the surface of the cooking liquid.
It is the key to delicious soups and
tender stews because the flavours
develop without overcooking the
food. You should also cook
egg-based and flour thickened
sauces below boiling point.
• Some tasks, including cooking
rice by the absorption method, may
require a setting higher than the
lowest setting to ensure the food is
cooked properly in the time
recommended.
2. Searing steak
To cook juicy flavorsome steaks:
• Stand the meat at room
temperature for about 20 minutes
before cooking.
• Heat up a heavy-based frying
pan.
• 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.

• Turn the steak only once during
cooking. The exact cooking time
will depend on the thickness of the
steak and how cooked you want it.
Times may vary from about 2 – 8
minutes per side. Press the steak
to gauge how cooked it is – the
firmer it feels the more 'well done'
it will be.
• Leave the steak to rest on a
warm plate for a few minutes to
allow it to relax and become tender
before serving.
3. For stir-frying
• Choose an induction compatible
flat-based wok or a large frying
pan.
• Have all the ingredients and
equipment ready. Stir-frying should
be quick. If cooking large
quantities, cook the food in several
smaller batches.
• Preheat the pan briefly and add
two tablespoons of oil.
• Cook any meat first, put it aside
and keep warm.
• Stir-fry the vegetables. When
they are hot but still crisp, turn the
cooking zone to a lower setting,
return the meat to the pan and add
your sauce.
• Stir the ingredients gently to
make sure they are heated
through.
• Serve immediately.
Detection of Small Articles
When an unsuitable size or
non-magnetic pan (e.g.
aluminium), or some other small
item (e.g. knife, fork, key) has
been left on the hob, the hob
automatically go on to standby in 1
minute. The fan will keep cooking
down the induction hob for a
further 1 minute.
Heat Settings
The settings below are guidelines
only. The exact setting will depend
on several factors, including your
cookware and the amount you are
cooking. Experiment with the
induction hob to find the settings
that best suit you.
