• When purchasing a pan, note that the diameter
indicated on the pan often refers to the diameter of
the upper side, or lid, which is often larger than the
pan bottom diameter.
• Pressure cookers that make use of high pressure in a
tightly sealed container are particularly economical,
as they save both time and power. Furthermore,
shorter cooking time means more vitamins are
retained in the food.
• Make sure there is always enough liquid in a pressure
cooker as an empty pot on the cooking zone may
result in overheating and damage to both the pot and
the cooking hob.
• If possible, always cover the pots with a suitably sized
lid.
• Use cookware that corresponds to the quantity of
the food you are preparing. Cooking in a large, only
partly
fi
lled pan, will consume much more energy than
required.
