Cooking involves precise timing and temperatures to achieve the desired results.
1. Baking a Cake
- Typical Time: 25 to 40 minutes, depending on the cake size and type.
- Typical Temperature: 175°C (350°F)
- How to Set the Timer: Say, “Set a timer for baking a cake,” and the Rabbit R1 Timer will typically set a 40-minute timer.
- Why It Works: Starting with the longest recommended time ensures the cake is fully baked. You can always check the cake a few minutes early if needed.
2. Boiling Rice
- Typical Time: 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the type and quantity of rice.
- How to Set the Timer: Say, “Set a timer to boil rice,” and the Rabbit R1 Timer will likely choose a median time like 20 minutes.
- Why It Works: This mid-range time is suitable for most types of rice. If your rice typically takes longer or shorter, you can adjust accordingly.
3. Boiling Water
- Typical Time: 5 to 10 minutes, depending on factors like the amount of water and the type of pot.
- How to Set the Timer: Simply say, “Set a timer to boil water,” and the Rabbit R1 Timer will likely set it for 10 minutes.
- Why It Works: This time frame is ideal for boiling smaller amounts of water on a standard burner. Adjust if you’re boiling a large pot.
4. Cooking a Stuffed Turkey
- Typical Time: Around 15 minutes per pound (500g) at 165°C (325°F). For a 7kg turkey, this would be approximately 3.5 to 4 hours.
- How to Set the Timer: Say, “Set a timer to cook a stuffed turkey,” and the Rabbit R1 Timer will estimate the time, such as 4 hours and 15 minutes.
- Why It Works: The Rabbit R1 Timer uses standard cooking estimates, which is great for large dishes like turkey. Always check with a meat thermometer to ensure it’s fully cooked (75°C for the stuffing and the thickest part of the turkey).
5. Cooking a Steak (Medium-Well Done)
- Typical Time: 6 to 8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steak.
- Typical Temperature: Sear at 200°C to 230°C (400°F to 450°F), then lower the heat slightly.
- How to Set the Timer: Say, “Set a timer to cook a medium-well steak,” and the Rabbit R1 Timer will typically set a 7-minute timer per side.
- Why It Works: This time allows the steak to cook through while still retaining some juiciness. You can adjust based on thickness or personal preference.
6. Cooking Fish (e.g., Salmon Fillet)
- Typical Time: 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
- Typical Temperature: 180°C to 200°C (350°F to 400°F)
- How to Set the Timer: Say, “Set a timer to cook fish,” and the Rabbit R1 Timer will likely set a 10-minute timer.
- Why It Works: Fish cooks quickly, and this timing ensures it is done without drying out. Adjust based on the type of fish or personal preference.
