Sunbeam PU5300 manual Cooking with your Sunbeam Fryware

Cooking with your Sunbeam Fryware

Baking

(Models FP5600/FP5900)

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

1.Preheat 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.

Basting

(Models FP5600/FP5900)

The pan tilt lever makes basting easy as it allows 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 spoon the juices over the food as desired.

Boiling Pasta

(Models FP5600/FP5900)

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

2.Add 250g (1½ cups) 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.

Boiling Rice

(Models FP5600/FP5900)

1.Bring 6 cups of water to the boil on setting 5. Add 200g (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

(All models)

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

1.Preheat the frypan to settings 8-9.

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.
