USING YOUR SCORPIO COOKER: USEFUL HINTS

Follow these useful hints to obtain the best results when using your new SCORPIO cooker.

Choice of burner

Use a large burner to bring liquids to the boil quickly, and use a small one for stewed dishes and sauces.

To conserve gas, place the pan centrally over the burner and adjust the flame so that it does not extend past the edges of the pan.

Do not boil food too rapidly. A strong boil does not cook any faster but violently shakes up the food, which may then lose its taste.

flame too high — wastes gas flame not past edges of pan — conserves gas

Utensils

All normally available utensils (aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic, etc.) may be used on your new gas cooker, but ensure that they are steady, in order to avoid dangerous spill-over of hot liquids.

Caution: Large Utensils

When a cooker is installed close to a worktop, ensure that whenever large utensils are used, they are placed so that they do not overhand the side of hotplate, as this may cause scorching or charring of the worktop surface.

Oven

There is a gradual change in temperature between the bottom and top of the oven. The first, or bottom, shelf position is the coolest and the fourth, or top, shelf position is the hottest. Because of the temperature change from one shelf position to another, it is possible to cook various dishes which require different temperatures, at the same time. As a rough guide, the temperature change from one shelf to the next is about ten degrees Celsius.

Some recipes do not refer directly to temperature but use descriptions such as “slow”, “moderate”, “hot” etc. when using such recipes, the following chart may be taken as a guide:

If preheating is required, allow time for the oven to reach the set temperature. The following table may be used as a guide:

Note that the oven light (where fitted) is located on the splash back.

Storage drawer (where fitted)

The storage drawer situated underneath the oven is designed for the storage of pans and utensils. Do not place plastic utensils or flammable material in this drawer. To remove the drawer, withdraw it to the fully open position. Then lift it dear of the stops. To refit the drawer, locate the nylon drawer slides on the slide tracks. Lift the drawer slightly to clear the stops, then slide it to the fully shut position.
