Cooking sensor function
You can use this function to heat, simmer or cook food,
cook it in a pressure cooker, or fry it in a pot with sufficient
oil at a controlled temperature.
Advantages when using the cooking sensor function:
¡
The cooking zone only heats up in order to maintain the
temperature. This saves energy. Oil or fat will not over-
heat.
¡
The temperature is continuously monitored. This pre-
vents the food from spilling over and you do not need to
change the temperature level.
¡
The cooking sensor functions tell you when the water or
oil has reached the optimal temperature for adding the
food; in some cases the food should be added at the
beginning, refer to the cooking chart.
General notes for using the cooking sensor function:
¡
Use cookware with a thick, flat base. Do not use cook-
ware with a thin or domed base.
¡
Fill the cookware so that the contents reach high
enough to cover the cooking sensor's silicone patch.
¡
If you are frying with little oil using a frying pan, always
use the frying sensor function.
¡
Position the cookware in such a way that the wireless
cooking sensor is pointing towards the outer side of the
cooktop.
¡
Do not remove the wireless cooking sensor from the
cookware during cooking.
¡
Remove the wireless sensor from the cookware after
cooking. Take care as you do so because the wireless
cooking sensor can become very hot.
¡
If no signal sounds, ensure that there is a lid on the con-
tainer. For optimum operation of the cooking sensor, we
recommend always using a lid, except when you use
the function for deep-fat frying with a large amount of oil
in a pot at 340°F (170°C).
¡
Never leave oil unattended when it is being heated. Use
oil that is suitable for deep-fat frying. Do not mix differ-
ent cooking fats and oils, such as oil and lard. These
mixtures may foam up when they become hot.
¡
If you are not satisfied with the cooking result use more
water the next time, for example when boiling potatoes.
Maintain the recommended temperature level.
