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 area, which results in heat loss and
the possible overflow of oil.
Pan Frying: Suitable for eggs, omelettes,
bacon,sausages,steaksandchickenpieces.
Preheattosettings8-9withalittleoiltoadd

Roasting
Meat and poultry: The frypan is ideal for
roasting meat and poultry, as the meat
retains the flavour and juices.

only a small amount of oil for less fatty
joints and no oil for fattier joints of meat.
2.Brownandsealthemeatonallsidesand
