40 cm Electroroast leaflet

The AMC 40 cm Electroroast® makes cooking a pleasure. With a capacity of 14.75 litres, this electrified unit is very versatile and perfect for preparing a large amount of food, and then serving directly from the cookware. Use it to roast, steam, braise, stew, poach, sauté or fry food.

The 40 cm Electroroast® features the well-known AMC design, with its superb heat retention and distribution abilities. Take this into consideration when cooking and don’t assume that higher temperatures are required for this size cookware. Cooking over medium to low temperatures is still recommended. Once the base is hot it will maintain its heat for a long period of time, even after the probe has been switched off. AMC’s waterless and fat-free cooking methods still apply, so even when cooking on a larger scale you can do this in a healthy manner. Remember to monitor the cooking temperature inside the unit by using the Visiotherm®.

Due to its size, the 40 cm Electroroast® may take slightly longer to heat up. A large volume of food will cook for a longer period of time, but the probe will continue to maintain the desired temperature. As this unit is electrified it will, despite its size, require less electricity than cooking the same amount of food in various smaller units on the stove.

Care & Cleaning

Before using your AMC 40 cm Electroroast® for the first time, wash in hot soapy water with a soft cloth or non-scratch sponge. The cookware should not be completely immersed in water. If the socket area does come into contact with water, make sure that it is thoroughly dried before using again. The Electric Probe must never be immersed in water, if necessary wipe clean with a damp cloth.

After use, clean the Electroroast® in hot soapy water with a soft cloth or non-scratch sponge. Dry immediately to prevent watermarks from forming and to maintain the polished appearance. Don’t use any abrasive cleaning materials as this will scratch the stainless steel. AMC Classic Cleaner, our cleaning paste, is ideal for cleaning purposes. The inside and outside of the cookware must never be washed with a scourer or hard sponge which could scratch the stainless steel.

Practical Tips

• Important: Always preheat the 40 cm Electroroast® over a medium temperature. Don’t start cooking over a high temperature as this could burn the large volume of food. As with all AMC cookware, it’s advisable not to fill the cookware to more than two-thirds of its capacity.
• Cooking rice or vegetables: Preheat the cold unit with the food in it, with probe on 6 until the Visiotherm® reaches the first red area. Then reduce the heat to 4 on the probe for the duration of the cooking process, depending on the type and quantity of food. The indicator on the Visiotherm® should be between the 1 – 2 o’clock position, indicating the optimum cooking temperature, so adjust the probe setting accordingly.
• Sautéing or frying ingredients: Preheat the empty unit with probe on 6, until Visiotherm® reaches the first red area. Sauté or fry your ingredients, adding oil only if necessary. Maintain the probe setting until sautéing is completed, then reduce the heat once covered with a lid.
