Buy meat strips from your butcher or
from your supermaket, or prepare
meat strips from recommended cuts
listed, by removing any fat and slicing
thinly across the grain (across the
direction of meat fibres). Slicing across
the grain ensures tenderness. Cut
into very thin strips, approx 5 – 8 cm in
length. Partially freeze meat for approx
30 minutes to make slicing easier.
Stir fry meat strips in small batches
(approx 200 – 300g) to stop meat
shedding its juice and ‘stewing’,
resulting in tougher meat.
When adding meat strips to the
Banquet Frypan, the strips should sizzle.
Stir fry meat strips for 1 – 2 minutes.
Any longer will toughen meat.
If cooking large batches, remove
each batch when cooked and allow
the Banquet Frypan to reheat before
stir frying the next batch. By cooking in
small batches the heat of the Banquet
Frypan remains constant, ensuring the
meat doesn’t stew and toughen.
Peanut oil is traditionally used for stir
fry Asian style dishes. However other
oils such as vegetable, canola and
light olive may be used.
Do not overfill the Banquet Frypan. If
necessary cook vegetables in batches
as well 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.
Serve stir fried foods immediately to
retain their crisp texture.
Sauteing
Recommended Temperature Probe
setting 8 – 10.
Used for sauteing onions, garlic,
spices, curry, pastes, herbs,
vegetables, meat and seafood.
Shallow Frying
Recommended Temperature Probe
setting 6 – 8.
Used to crispen and cook foods in a
small amount of oil. The foods may
have already been cooked.
Use approx 1 cup of oil, or sufficient oil
so that half the food is immersed.
Preheat the oil before adding food.
When using oil never cover with the lid
during heating or cooking, as this will
cause condensation to drip into the
oil and result in bubbling
and splattering.
Do not move the Banquet Frypan
during heating or cooking.
Wipe moisture from foods to
avoid splattering.
Cook a few pieces at a time to
ensure crispness.
Drain cooked foods on paper towels
to reduce greasiness.
Never leave your Banquet Frypan
unattended or unsupervised while
shallow frying.
Allow oil to cool before removing from
Banquet Frypan.
Vegetable or canola oil is
recommended for frying.
nOTE: Deep frying is not
recommended as the frypans
have a large surface area and
shallow sides, this results in heat
loss and possible oil overflow.
