The Quest Black Multi-Function Electric Cooker Pan excels in delivering consistent and adaptable cooking performance across various culinary tasks. Its precise temperature control (100°C - 240°C) is key to its versatility, allowing you to:
Achieve Perfect BROWNING: Use higher temperatures (e.g., 200°C-240°C) for searing meats like chicken breasts or steaks, ensuring a desirable crust.
Efficient FRYING: Fry items such as eggs, bacon, or even shallow-fry fish or chips with consistent heat distribution.
Gentle SIMMERING: Reduce the temperature to lower settings (e.g., 100°C-140°C) to gently simmer stews, curries, or sauces, preventing scorching and allowing flavors to meld.
Quick SAUTÉING: Ideal for stir-fries and sautéing vegetables, onions, or garlic, quickly softening ingredients while retaining their texture.
The non-stick surface ensures that even delicate foods release easily, minimizing breakage and making serving smooth. For instance, creating a one-pan chicken stir-fry becomes effortless, as ingredients can be sautéed and then simmered directly in the pan. The cool-touch handle and detachable power cable are particularly useful for social dining; you can cook a dish and then unplug and safely move the pan directly to the table for family-style serving, keeping food warm for longer.
Unpack: Carefully remove the electric cooker pan and all its components (lid, power cable) from the packaging.
Inspect: Check for any signs of damage during transit.
Clean Before First Use: Wipe down the non-stick cooking surface and the glass lid with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before use.
Placement: Place the pan on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface away from flammable materials.
Connect Power: Ensure the pan's temperature control unit is set to 'OFF' or its lowest setting before securely attaching the detachable power cable.
Power Supply: This electric cooker pan is compatible with standard household electrical outlets (Info needed: specific voltage/Hz if applicable, e.g., 220-240V, 50/60Hz).
Utensils: To protect the non-stick coating, always use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils. Avoid metal utensils that can scratch the surface.
Cleaning: After each use, allow the pan to cool completely. The non-stick surface can be easily wiped clean with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn residue, soak the pan for a few minutes before cleaning. The detachable power cable makes it easier to clean the pan without worrying about electrical components.
Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as these can damage the non-stick coating and the pan's exterior.
Lid Care: The toughened glass lid can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher.
Storage: Ensure the pan is completely dry before storing. Store in a clean, dry place to prevent dust build-up.
