Using Your Hob
NEVER allow aluminium foil to be in contact with the hob surface when in use.
Cooking Zone description
The Halogen Solarglo Cooking Zones ensure the immediate visibility of their operation and provide instant heat.
We recommend you use these zones to cook dishes requiring fierce heat and for rapid heating up of small quantities of food.
The Radiant Cooking Zones take longer to turn red. We recommend their use for simmering and slow cooking.
DO NOT allow young children near to the hob when the it is in use as the surfaces get
extremely hot!
Setting the Hotplate
Both the Halogen Solarglo Cooking Zones and the Radiant Cooking Zones feature touch controls to ensure the correct supply of energy according to time. The cooking zones do not heat up constantly but rather in
VERY FIERCE (steaks, to bring liquids to the boil, etc).
FIERCE (fish, omelettes, etc).
MODERATE - simmering | (pasta and rice on reaching boiling |
| point, potatoes, stews, vegetables, |
| fruit, soups, hotpots, etc.) |
LOW (to reduce sauces, scrambled eggs, keeping food warm, etc.)
VERY LOW (melted butter, melted chocolate, etc).
Deep Fat Frying Safely
1.Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.
2.Never fill the pan more than one third full of oil.
3.Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.
4.Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This lowers the fat temperature too much resulting in greasy food.
5.Always dry food thoroughly before frying, then lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause the fat to froth and spit if added too quickly.
6.Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
7.Keep the outside of the pan clean and free of streaks of oil or fat.
