Cooking with your SK6450 Ellise® Stainless Steel Skillet
Frying
Theskilletisidealforshallowordryfrying.
Deepfryingisnotsuitableastheskillet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.
Pre-heattosettings8-9withalittleoil
toaddflavour.Steaksshouldonlyrequire
turning once or twice.
Tip: A good suggestion is to lightly coat the
meat with the oil, this helps to reduce the
amount of oil needed, and stops spattering of
excessoil.
Shallow Frying: Suitable for vegetable
piecese.groastpumpkinandpotato,and
crumbedfood.Pre-heatonsettings9-11
with sufficient oil so that the food is half
immersed.Cookfoodwiththelidoff.
Sauteéing: Pre-heatonsettings8-9witha
little oil to add flavour.
Stir Frying:Foodiscookedquickly,overa
high heat and vegetables retain their flavour
and crispness. For best results and even
cooking,cutfoodintoevensized,smaller

Roasting
Meat and Poultry
Theskilletisidealforroastingmeatand
poultry, as the meat retains the flavour and
juices. It is necessary to brown and seal
meat in many recipes. Meat retains its juices
and the flavours develop after browning and
sealing.Thisalsopreventsitfromsticking

1.Pre-heattheskilletonsettings12-13.Use
only a small amount of oil for less fatty
joints and less oil for fattier joints of meat.
