Advice on Cooking with and without Automatic Warm up
The automatic warm up function is suitable for:
•
dishes that start off cold, are heated up at high power and do not need
to be continually watched when cooking on the selected heat setting,
•
dishes that are put in a hot frying pan.
The automatic warm up function is not suitable for:
•
goulash, beef olives and similar braised dishes that need continual tur−
ning until browned correctly, have liquid added and are then braised
until cooked,
•
dumplings, pasta dishes with large amounts of liquid,
•
cooking with pressure cookers,
•
very large quantities of soup/stew with more than 2 litres of liquid.
General notes:
•
When cooking without the automatic warm up function, we recom−
mend the use of a high heat setting to warm up the food (using the
button) and then leave the dish to finish cooking at an appropriate lo−
wer heat setting.
•
Take special note of the results when you first use the appliance! You
can then decide which heat setting is the best for "your dishes" in the
"quantities you are accustomed to preparing" with "your pans". You will
then quickly appreciate the advantages of the automatic function and
will feel relaxed about using your new hob.
