Tips
•
Food
s
cook as quickly at a gentle boil as at a vigorous boil. Using an unnecessarily high boil
wastes energy and cooks moisture, flavor, and nutrients out of food.
•
Use a low or medium flame if using cookware that is a poor heat conductor (e.g., glass, ceramic,
cast iron). Reduce the flame to cover 1/3 of the cookware diameter. This ensures even heating
and lowers the chance of burning/scorching the food.

1.1.
