Cooking Techniques

Stir-Frying
Recommended heat setting –
8 to 10 for stir-frying meat.
8 for vegetables and seafood

Is an energy efficient and healthy way of
cooking foods.The benefit of this method
is its speed and the flavour result.
The non-stick cooking surface on your
wok also means that less oil is required
for cooking.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.

Stir-frying should be carried out using a
high heat setting.

Preheat your wok before adding any

ingredients, allow the temperature light
to cycle ‘on’ and ‘off’ several times.This
will allow the wok to reach an even high
temperature.

Stir-frying is a dry heat cooking method
and is best suited to tender cuts of meat.
Timing is a key factor when cooking meat
as over cooking will give a tough, dry
result. Cooking times depend on the size
and thickness of the cut, as the bigger the
cut, the more time is needed.
