which may burn on the non-stick surface may cause it to discolour. High settings may be used for baking cakes, as food is not in contact with the surface.

Any discolouration that may occur will only detract from the appearance of the frypan and not affect the cooking performance.

Do not use metal utensils. These will scratch and damage the Non-stick cooking surfaces. Use only plastic or wooden utensils to stir or serve food.

To clean interior and exterior surface:

Wash in hot soapy water. Remove stubborn spots with a plastic washing pad or sponge.

Do not use steel wool or coarse scouring

pads. These will damage the non-stick cooking surface.

Removing discolouration of the non-stick surface. Combine 2 tablespoons bicarbonate of soda, 1/4 cup household bleach, 1 cup water.

Pour into the frypan, place the lid on with the vent closed, and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Clean in a well ventilated area and avoid breathing the vapours. Wash as directed, and re-season the frypan before using again. In some instances this may not remove all the staining.

Dishwasher-safe.Your frypan is completely dishwasher-safe. The heating element is totally sealed so it is safe to fully immerse in water. The removable base is also dishwasher-safe.

Cooking with your Sunbeam frypan.

Baking.

Your frypan can be used for baking cakes, with deliciously moist results.

1.Pre-heat the frypan to setting 10, with the lid on.

2.Elevate the cake pan or tray from the base of the frypan using a small wire rack.

Cooking times will be longer than those of a conventional oven. Use the recipes in this book as a guide to the cooking times for your own recipes.

Basting.

The Pan Tilt Lever makes bastings easy as it allow the juices to drain to one side of the pan.

Reduce the temperature to prevent any fat and juices spattering. Position the pan Tilt Lever and allow the juices over the food as desired.

Boiling.

Pasta.

1.Bring 6 cups of water to the boil on setting 5. Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to stop the pasta from sticking together.

2.Add 250g (1 cup) of pasta and cook until tender, for approximately 8-12 minutes.

3.Reduce to a lower setting if the water boils too rapidly.

Note: Cooking times will vary with different types of pasta.

Rice.

1.Bring 6 cups of water to the boil on setting 5. Add 250g (1 cup) of rice and position the lid.

2.Cook until tender, approximately 10-12 minutes, and then drain.

3.Reduce to a lower setting if the water boils too rapidly. Stir occasionally so that the rice does not stick.

Browning and sealing meat.

It is necessary to brown and seal meat in many recipes. Meat retains it’s juices and the flavours develop after browning and sealing. This also prevents it from sticking when baking or roasting.

Preferably use meat that is at room temperature, as this reduces the cooking time.

1.Pre-heat the frypan to settings 7-8. If using an aluminium or stainless steel frypan, pre- heat with approximately 1-2 tablespoons of oil.

2.Brown meat on all sides, with the lid off.

3.After sealing, reduce the temperature to settings 4-5 and replace the lid until the meat is cooked as desired. Steaks should only require turning once or twice.

Frying.

The frypan is ideal for shallow or dry frying. Deep frying is not particularly suitable as the frypan has shallow sides and a greater surface
