HINTS AND TIPS

Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the

heated areas. This will reduce the risk of scratches

and metal marks from saucepans with aluminium

bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off

providing they are not allowed to burn on.

Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan

manufacturer, particularly those relating to

recommended heat settings.

Avoid using thin badly dented or distorted

saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not be

used.

To prolong the life of hotplates:-

Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.

Never use an asbestos mat.

Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered

with a saucepan.

Ensure that hob and saucepans are clean and dry

before the start of cooking to reduce cleaning.

Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to keep

the hob looking like new.

If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g.

jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the hob

before it sets and becomes hard otherwise

damage to the hob will occur.

HOT HOB INDICATOR

The ceramic hob is fitted with a hot hob indicator light

which illuminates when the hob is too hot to touch. The

light will go OFF when the hob has cooled.

DEEP FAT FRYING

SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:

For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan

one-third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid

and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the

unfortunate event of a fire, switch the cooker OFF at

the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or

damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.

DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool

for at least 30 minutes before moving it.

DO NOT leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the hob

to store it in case the hob is inadvertently switched ON.

1. Preparing the food

Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and

breadcrumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with

batter coated foods as they will stick.

2. Amount of oil

For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full of

oil.

3. Testing the temperature of the oil

It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the

temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small

cube of bread into the oil which should brown in just

under a minute if the oil is at the correct

temperature of 190°C/375°F.

4. Cooking the food

Lower the food gently into the oil. Do not add too

much food at once or the temperature of the oil will

be reduced and may result in soggy, greasy food.

Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the

surface so will not brown on the upperside if not

turned. Once cooked, drain the food on absorbent

paper.

5. Double frying chips

Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the

chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal the

outside. Remove the chips from the oil. Increase the

temperature of the oil to 190°C/375°F to finish

cooking and brown the chips.

Chips may be kept for several hours after the first

frying before finishing off with the second frying.
