Cooking techniques
Suggested times for stir-frying vegetables:
Stir frying
Stir fry tips
Recommended Temperature Control Probe setting
‘High Sear’.
• Prepare meat strips from recommended cuts as listed
above by removing fat and slicing thinly across the
grain (across direction of meat fibres). Slicing across
the grain ensures tenderness. Cut into very thin strips,
approximately 5-8cm in length. Partially freeze meat
(approximately 30 minutes) to make slicing easier.
Cooking time
3 minutes
Ingredient
• An energy efficient and healthy way of cooking
foods. The benefit of this method is its speed and
flavour result. The cooking action for stir frying is a
continual tossing motion to ensure the food is
evenly exposed to the heat and cooks quickly and
evenly in a couple of minutes.
Onion, quartered,
Broccoli, flowerets
Carrots, sliced
Soaked Chinese dried mushrooms
• Buy meat strips already prepared from your butcher
or supermarket.
2 minutes
1 minute
Snow peas
• Stir frying should be carried out using a ‘High
Sear’ setting.
•
Stir fry meat strips in small batches (approx 200-300g)
to keep juice in meat and avoid ‘stewing’, resulting in
tougher meat.
Capsicum, sliced
Zucchinis, sliced
Water chestnuts
Bamboo shoots
• Preheat your frypan before adding any ingredients,
allowing the heating light to cycle
‘On’ and
‘Off’
• Meat strips should sizzle when added to the frypan.
several times. This will allow the frypan to reach
and maintain an even high temperature.
• Stir fry meat strips for 1-2 minutes. Longer cooking
will toughen meat.
Garlic, minced
Chilli, minced
Ginger, minced
Shallots, chopped
Bean sprouts
• Stir frying is a dry heat cooking method and is best
suited to tender cuts of meat. Timing is a key factor
as over cooking will give a tough, dry result.
Cooking times will depend on the size and
thickness of the meat, as the bigger the pieces, the
more time needed.
• Remove each batch when cooked and allow frypan
to reheat before stir frying the next batch. By
cooking in small batches the heat of the frypan
remains constant, ensuring the meat doesn't stew
and toughen.
These brief cooking times will keep vegetables crisp.
Sautéing
• A small amount of oil can be mixed through the
meat strips before adding to the frypan, along any
other flavouring such as garlic, ginger and chilli.
A little sesame oil can also add flavour. Mixing the
oil with the meat in this way cuts down on the
quantity used.
• Peanut oil is traditionally used for stir fry Asian
style dishes. However other oils such as vegetable,
canola and light olive may be used.
Recommended Temperature Control Probe setting 12-14.
Recommended cuts
Use for sautéing onions, garlic, spices, pastes, herbs,
vegetables, meat and seafood.
Beef
Lean beef strips prepared from rump,
sirloin, rib eye, fillet.
• Do not over fill the frypan. If necessary, cook in
batches and reheat at the end of stir frying. If using
this method remember to under cook slightly so
reheating will not spoil the finished dish.
If using oil to sauté, use setting 14. If using
butter, use setting 12.
Chicken Lean chicken strips prepared from breast
fillets, tenderloins, thigh fillets.
• Drain off thin marinades from meat strips before
stir frying to prevent stewing and splatter.
That’s the idea™
Lamb
Lean lamb strips prepared from fillet, lamb
leg steaks, round or topside mini roasts,
eye of loin.
• Serve stir fried foods immediately to retain their
crisp texture.
• Stir fry vegetables in a little oil (or sprinkling
of water) before meat is added for vivid colour and
crispness.
Pork
Veal
Lean pork strips prepared from leg,
butterfly or medallion steaks or fillet.
Eye of loin, fillet, round, rump or topside.

Cooking techniques
1-2 minutes, reduce heat, gradually add 1-2 cups
stock. Increase heat and stir gravy continuously
until it comes to the boil, reduce heat and simmer
3-4 minutes until gravy thickens. Serve immediately
with sliced roast meat.
Shallow frying
Pan frying

Recommended Temperature Control Probe setting
Searing Roast - ‘High Sear’ Cooking Roast – 8-10.
Recommended Temperature Control Probe setting
Searing meat – ‘High Sear’ Medium heat – 10-12.
Recommended Temperature Control Probe setting 10-12.
Use to crispen and cook foods in a small amount of
oil. The foods may have already been cooked.
Use for cooking meats, fish, seafood, eggs, chicken or
sausages.
Roasting meat and poultry
The frypan is ideal for roasting meat and poultry, as
the meat retains the flavour and juices.
• Use approximately 2-4 cups oil, or sufficient oil so
that half the food is immersed.
•
Preheat frypan on ‘High Sear’ setting. A small amount
of oil can be added to the heated frypan if desired.
Roasting vegetables
• Vegetables such as potatoes, pumpkin, sweet
potato, parsnips, etc. can be added to the frypan
with the meat during cooking.
The frypan’s lid provides ample room for larger joints
of meat and poultry up to 1.5kg.
• Preheat the oil before adding food.
• Brushing whole meat cuts, for example, steak,
chicken breast, fish fillets, with a small amount of
oil before pan frying will give a more even result
and reduces amount of oil required.
• Never cover the frypan with the lid during heating
or cooking with oil as this can cause overheating. It
may also result in condensation dripping into the
oil causing bubbling and splattering.
• Preheat the Frypan on setting ‘High Sear’.
Fattier joints of meat such as lamb require no oil.
Use only a small amount of oil for leaner roasts.
• Cut vegetables into even sized pieces and lightly
brush with oil.
• Allow time for meat to sear on both sides.
Then reduce to setting 10-12.
• Add to the frypan 40-65 minutes before serving.
• Brown and seal the meat on all sides. Position
the lid.
• Do not move the frypan during heating or cooking.
• Wipe moisture from foods to avoid splattering.
• Cook a few pieces at a time to ensure crispness.
• For crisper vegetables, remove the meat, drain
juices and add vegetables. Increase the heat for the
last few minutes of cooking.
• Delicate foods such as fish and eggs should be pan-
fried on Medium Heat Setting 10-12. Allow time for
fish to be cooked on both sides and eggs to set.
• After browning, turn the dial to setting 8-10, to
cook meat to desired doneness.
• Drain cooked foods on kitchen paper to absorb
excess oil.
• Turn the meat over during cooking.
Roasting times
• Once the meat is cooked, remove from frypan, set
aside and cover with foil. This allows the juices in
the meat to settle before carving.
• Never leave your frypan unattended or
unsupervised while shallow frying.
The following times will cook the meats to ‘Well
Done’. These times can be reduced for meats to be
cooked to personal preference.
• Allow oil to cool before removing from frypan.
• Vegetable or canola oil is recommended for frying.
• To make gravy: Drain excess oil from pan, stir 1-2
tablespoons plain flour into pan residue, cook for
Suggested times for meat ‘Well Done’:
