lHINTS AND TIPS

Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the heated areas. This will reduce the risk of scratches and metal marks from saucepans with aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn on.

Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan manufacturer, particularly those relating to

lrecommended heat settings.

Avoid using thin badly dented or distorted saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not

lbe used.

To prolong the life of hotplates:-

Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.

lNever use an asbestos mat.

Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered with a saucepan.

Ensure that hob and saucepans are clean and dry before the start of cooking to reduce cleaning.

Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to keep the hob looking like new.

If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g. jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the hob before it sets and becomes hard otherwise damage to the hob will occur.

HOT HOB INDICATOR

The ceramic hob is fitted with a hot hob indicator light which illuminates when the hob is too hot to touch. The light will go OFF when the hob has cooled.

DEEP FAT FRYING

SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:

For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan one-third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the unfortunate event of a fire, switch the cooker OFF at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.

DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving it.

DO NOT leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently switched ON.

1.Preparing the food

Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and breadcrumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with batter coated foods as they will stick.

2.Amount of oil

For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full of oil.

3.Testing the temperature of the oil

It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small cube of bread into the oil which should brown in just under a minute if the oil is at the correct temperature of 190°C/375°F.

4.Cooking the food

Lower the food gently into the oil. Do not add too much food at once or the temperature of the oil will be reduced and may result in soggy, greasy food.

Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the surface so will not brown on the upperside if not turned. Once cooked, drain the food on absorbent paper.

5.Double frying chips

Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal the outside. Remove the chips from the oil. Increase the temperature of the oil to 190°C/375°F to finish cooking and brown the chips.

Chips may be kept for several hours after the first frying before finishing off with the second frying.
