Toasting Hints and Tips
•
•
•

7
When toasting, use slices of similar size, thickness and freshness.
Old (yesterdays) bread contains less moisture, so makes crispier toast.
Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread – use a lighter setting.
Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc) brown much more quickly than
ordinary bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting.

mushrooms, simply follow the Fry procedure.
The Steam Tray can be used to steam vegetables. Pour cold water into the Fry Pan.
Place your vegetables into the Steam Tray, cover and cook.
The Poach Tray can also be used to heat Baked Beans (tinned), chopped or plum
tomatoes (tinned), simply follow the Poach procedure.
It is recommended to monitor the above alternatives closely when cooking for the
first time as the cooking process varies dependent upon type of cooking and
required cooking time.
Cooking Hints
When the appliance is switched on the red LED light will illuminate and extinguish as
the thermostat regulates the temperature.
The egg cooker timing is controlled by the amount of water placed in the Fry Pan. The
more water added, the longer the appliance will cook.
When steaming eggs, there is still possibility the eggs may expand and leak, this is
normal.
