Stove Top Baking

Cakes and quick breads may be baked on top of the stove in your cookware.

1. Using a paper towel slightly braise the pan with a very small amount of oil.
2. Preheat pan over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes.
3. Pour batter into pan and cover.
4. At a true medium-low temperature the Vapo-Valve will NOT click. Bake for approximately ½ the time specified in the recipe or until the top of cake or bread is moist and springs back when touched.

Tip: To remove excess moisture from food, tilt the cover during the last 5- 10 minutes of baking. Browning of the food will be slight.

You can use your oven in the oven for baking or roasting and broiling. Just remove handles first.

Dried Beans & Legumes

1. Rinse the beans well and place in enough water to cover generously.
2. Remember that beans will double in bulk after several hours of soaking. Look for shriveled or damaged beans and remove any that float.
3. Soak the beans for 6 to 8 hours or overnight. 
4. Drain the beans and refill the pan with enough water to cover.
5. Place the pan over medium-high heat and cover. 
6. When the Vapo-Valve clicks, reduce heat to low and continue cooking until tender. Most beans should cook one hour. Lentils require 15- 20 minutes. Chickpeas and Soy beans require 1-2 hours or more.

Oil-Free Hash Browns

Frozen

1. Preheat to medium. 
2. Sprinkle pan with water; drops of cold water should bead and dance. 
3. Place hash browns on pan, then flip when golden brown.

Fresh

1. Grate potatoes on #2 cone. 
2. Rinse and drain well, then dry on a towel. 
3. Place the potatoes on preheated griddle, and flip when brown. 

Tip: Frying with some onion will help hash browns to release more easily.

Stir-Frying

1. If using the Wok, preheat to medium then just before beginning to cook increase the heat to medium-high. 
2. Add onions, tofu (meat), and hard vegetables first, followed by more sensitive vegetables such as broccoli, and peppers. 
3. You may stir-fry as usual or make use of the semi-vacuum to do a “still fry”. To still fry, simply sear the tofu (meat) and harder vegetables then after adding all remaining ingredients, sauces etc., cover fully then reduce to low when the Vapo-Valve clicks.

Oil-Free Pancakes

1. Preheat skillet to medium on large element of stove or preheat the electric skillet to 375F. 
2. Sprinkle pan with water; drops of cold water should bead and dance.
3. In a bowl, mix you favorite pancake batter (you may leave the oil out of the recipe as well.)
4. Pour pancake batter onto the preheated pan then flip when the top has bubbles evenly across it.
5. If pancake sticks and burns, lower the heat. If the pancake sticks and seems to take too long, raise the heat. Once you’ve found the ‘correct’ setting, it’s simple for next time!

Tip: Use the same method for oil-free French toast.
