Cooking tips

Skillet cooked steaks are best turned only once about halfway through the cooking time. The skillet needs to have reached a high temperature to prevent the meat stewing in its own juices. Test if steaks are cooked by pressing with tongs, the less movement there is, the more cooked the steak is. Don’t cut the steak to see if it is cooked, as this releases the juices and dries the steak out.

Capsicums, eggplant, tomato halves & zucchini are some of the vegetables ideal for char grilling on the ridged side of the skillet, flat breads are wonderful cooked on the flat side.

Hints and tips

For the simmer and semi rapid burners pots should be larger than 12cm in diameter (smaller pots can be used with the coffee pot trivet). The coffee pot support allows small items to be placed on burners.

The fish/skillet burner (Jet 9 models only) may be used with pots 18cm in diameter and above. A fish kettle on the fish burner is not only useful for fish, but for steaming long vegetables like cobs of corn, Chinese broccoli, long beans and asparagus.

Repositioning the pan supports

The pan supports above the wok burner are different from the other burners. Note the raised area for the wok on the pan support.
