The times indicated are meant only as a guideline. You
should adjust them to suit your personal tastes, cooking
style and ingredients, etc.
» It is best to soak lentils, chickpeas and haricot beans
etc. before cooking.
» You do not need to defrost frozen pulses or small fi sh.
Increase cooking time by a few minutes when cooking
large fi sh and frozen meat.
» Frothy soups (e.g. pea soup, etc.) should be fi rst cooked
with the lid off. Before closing the lid remove the froth
with a skimmer.
» You do not need to worry about water evaporation as
only a very small amount of vapour actually escapes.
» Brown meat a little more than normal as the vapour
tends to lighten the colour. Cooking times will depend
on its thickness and quality.
» Clean fi sh well, squeeze a little lemon juice over the top
and season immediately before cooking.
