  Heating levels| Temperature C| Food type
  ---|---|---
  1 & 2| 100 C°| Roasted food, Simmering (eg: sauces)
  3 & 4| 150- 200 C°| Pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, braising, stewing (eg: curry, casseroles) rice, pasta, steaming foods (eg: vegetables)

• It takes 5-10 minutes after the unit is switched on before the control light will be on. You can then start cooking the food.
• Once cooking is complete, the unit can be kept warm. To do this, set the temperature regulator to the thermostat level.
• The control light may come on and off during your cooking process. This is not an error. The temperature regulator is automatically functioning and regulating the temperature.

Cooking tips:

Stewing:

• When used on low heat, the electric fry pan is ideal to make hearty stews and casseroles as well as curries.
• Keep the lid on when stewing and remove the lid to stir your ingredients.

Steaming:

• If using a metal rack, take care not to scratch the surface of the electric fry pan. Ideally, use a silicone steamer basket or insert.
• Check the liquid level at regular intervals and add more hot water if further steaming is required.
• Do not allow the liquid inside the electric fry pan to touch the steaming rack or food.

1. Add 2 cups of water or liquid stock to the electric fry pan. 2
2. Pace your steaming rack into the electric fry pan.
3. Pre-heat the electric fry pan on temperature level 3 – 4 until the liquid is simmering.
4. . Place the food to be steamed into the steaming rack.
5. Place the lid on the electric fry pan and simmer until the food is cooked as desired.

• When removing the lid, take care to lift it off away from you.

Shallow frying:

• When used on heat level 4 ­ 5, use approx. 1 ­ 1.5 cups of oil to shallow fry crispy cooked foods ­ such as chicken strips, mini spring rolls or dim sims, homemade chips etc.
• Cook food until golden in color and flip food (turn over) to ensure it is cooked evenly.
• Do not cover the electric fry pan with the lid when shallow frying.

Deep frying:

• When used on heat level 4 ­ 5, fry your food in batches to prevent the oil temperature from decreasing and preventing food from becoming soggy
• Food suitable for deep frying should be coated with breadcrumbs or batter.
• Before adding the food, preheat the oil to the desired temperature.

Do not cover the electric fry pan with the lid when deep frying.

Sir-fry:

• It is recommended to stir fry meat on the highest heat setting.
• The cooking method for stir-frying is to toss food continuously to expose all the ingredients to heat to ensure a quick and even cooking result
• Do not overfill the electric fry pan, cook in smaller batches, and re-heat food together at the end of stir-frying the batches. If using this method, under-cook your food slightly so that when re0heating the finished meal is not tough.
• tir-fry vegetables before meat in a little oil or sprinkling of water briefly so they retain crispness and remain vivid in color.
• Stir-frying is best suited to tender cuts of meat as it uses a dry heat cooking method. x Cooking times are dependent on the thickness and size of the cuts of meat.
• Thicker and larger pieces of meat will need more cooking time.
• Thin meat strips between 5 ­ 8 cm are recommended for stir-frying.
• Toss the stir-fried meat in a small amount of oil before cooking
• Meat should be stir-fried on small batches (up to 300g). This avoids the meat stewing in its own juices and becoming tough.
• Cooking in small batches also helps the heat in the electric fry pan remain at a constant level to ensure the meat does not become tough from stewing in its own juices.
• Stir-fry meat for between 1 ­ 2 minutes.
• Remove a cooked batch of meat and then wait for the electric fry pan to re-heat before stir-frying the next batch of meat.
• If you are cooking meat strips that have been marinated, drain off the marina before stir-frying to prevent the meat from stewing.
• Serve your stir-fry quickly after cooking for a crisp, hot and tasty meal.

Using the lid:

• Use the glass lid where possible when cooking all food types.
• The lid prevents smells from escaping and reduces cooking time.

Note:

• The glass lid has a vent through which hot steam can escape.
• Avoid contact with this escaping steam.
• The lid can become extremely hot during operation therefore use oven gloves, etc. where possible when removing the lid to avoid burns.
• When removing the lid, take care to lift it away from you.

After use:

•  Set the temperature regulator to the 0 levels and pull the plug out of the mains power point.
• Allow the unit to cool down thoroughly before cleaning it.

Cleaning:

• Clean the electric fry pan after use with a damp soft cloth or damp paper towel.
• If it is difficult to remove residue on the electric fry pan, put a little water in the electric frypan and turn it on. The electric fry pan will be heated, and the residue can be rubbed away.
• Do not use any aggressive detergents, thinners, brushes with metal or nylon bristles or sharp objects such as knives or spatulas when cleaning the unit.
• To clean the thermostat controller, wipe it with a dry soft cloth or paper towel.
• To clean the lid, wipe it with a damp soft cloth or damp paper towel with a little detergent. Rinse it and dry it thoroughly after use.
• Do not put the electric fry pan or thermostat controller into the water.
• Always dry the unit thoroughly after cleaning it and before storing it away.
• None of the parts for the electric fry pan are dishwasher safe.

To clean stubborn stains:

• Add ½ cup of lemon juice and 2 cups of water to the electric fry pan.
