Hints and tips
Hints and tips when using the hob
Do not overfill pans or they will boil
over.
Do not use pans with very heavy
handles, which cause the pan to tip.
The hob surface should be allowed to
cool before closing the lid.
Any spillage should be removed from
the lid before opening.
Do not leave accidental spillage on
the hob or removable parts. The
spillage should be wiped up and the
parts washed and carefully dried as
soon as the hob, pan supports and
burner parts are cool enough to touch.
A flat-based Wok will stand stable on
the pan supports. If you use a round
Wok with a collar support, the collar
must be the open wirework type
otherwise the performance of the
burner will be affected.
Hints and tips when using the grill
Most foods should be placed on the
grid in the grill pan to allow maximum
circulation of air to lift the food out of
the fats and juices.
Adjust the grid and grill pan runner
position to allow for different
thicknesses of food.
Food should be thoroughly dried
before grilling to minimise splashing.
Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a
little oil or melted butter to keep them
moist during cooking.
Accompaniments such as tomatoes
and mushrooms may be placed
underneath the grid when grilling
meats.
When toasting bread use the shelf in
position 2 with the grid in the high
position.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a
few minutes before sealing steaks or
toasting. Adjust the heat setting and
the shelf as necessary during cooking.
The food should be turned over
during cooking as required.
Hints and tips when using the top
oven
Arrange the shelves in the required
positions before switching the oven on.
Shelf positions are counted from the
top downwards.
Ensure that food is placed centrally
on the shelf and there is sufficient room
around the baking tray/dish to allow for
maximum circulation.
Do not push dishes too far back as
food will burn if it overhangs the burner
flame
Stand dishes on a suitably sized
baking tray on the shelf to prevent
spillage onto the oven base and to help
reduce cleaning.
