Sunbeam PU5300 - Manual (Page 12)

Cooking with your Sunbeam
Fryware
Baking
(Models FP5600/FP5900)
Your frypan can be used for baking cakes,
with deliciously moist results.
1. Preheat the frypan to setting 10,
with the lid on.
2. Elevate the cake pan or tray from the base
of the frypan using a small wire rack.
Cooking times will be longer than those of a
conventional oven.
Basting
(Models FP5600/FP5900)
The pan tilt lever makes basting easy as it
allows the juices to drain to one side of the
pan. Reduce the temperature to prevent any
fat and juices spattering. Position the pan tilt
lever and spoon the juices over the food as
desired.
Boiling Pasta
(Models FP5600/FP5900)
1. Bring 6 cups of water to the boil on setting
5. Add 1-2 teaspoons of oil to stop the
pasta from sticking together.
2. Add 250g (1½ cups) of pasta and cook
until tender, for approximately 8-12
minutes.
3. Reduce to a lower setting if the water boils
too rapidly.
Note: Cooking times will vary with different
types of pasta.
Boiling Rice
(Models FP5600/FP5900)
1. Bring 6 cups of water to the boil on setting
5. Add 200g (1 cup) of rice and position
the lid.
2. Cook until tender, approximately 10-12
minutes, and then drain.
3. Reduce to a lower setting if the water boils
too rapidly. Stir occasionally so that the
rice does not stick.
Browning and Sealing Meat
(All models)
It is necessary to brown and seal meat in
many recipes. Meat retains its juices and the
flavours develop after browning and sealing.
This also prevents it from sticking when
baking or roasting. Preferably use meat that
is at room temperature, as this reduces the
cooking time.
1. Preheat the frypan to settings 8-9.
2. Brown meat on all sides, with the lid off.
3. After sealing, reduce the temperature to
settings 4-5 and replace the lid until the
meat is cooked as desired.
