Tips for cooking with the cooking sensor
▯
Keeping warm/heating up: Portioned frozen
products, e.g. spinach. Place the frozen product in
the cookware. Add the volume of water specified by
the manufacturer. Place a lid on the cookware and
set the temperature to 70 °C. Stir occasionally.
▯
Poaching: This function is suitable for cooking food
at low temperatures and for thickening sauces and
stews. Set the temperature to 90 °C .
▯
Boiling: You can use this function to boil water with
the lid on without it boiling over. The temperature
control allows for efficient cooking. Set the
temperature to 100 °C.
▯
Cooking in a pressure cooker: Follow the
manufacturer's recommendations. After the signal
tone sounds, continue cooking for the
recommended time. Set the temperature to 115 °C.
▯
Frying with a large amount of oil in the saucepan:
Heat the oil with the lid on. Remove the lid after the
signal tone and add the food (insofar as there are
no other instructions in the "Recommended dishes"
table). Set the temperature to 170 °C.
Notes
–
Always cook with the lid on, except when you use
the function for frying with a large amount of oil in
the pot, 170 ºC.
–
If no signal sounds, ensure that there is a lid on the
container. 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 the pot.
–
Never leave oil unattended when it is being heated.
Use oil that is suitable for deep-fat frying. Do not
mix different cooking fats and oils – e.g. oil and lard
– as such mixtures may foam up when hot.
–
If you are not satisfied with the cooking result, e.g.
when boiling potatoes, next time use more water.
Maintain the recommended temperature setting.
Setting the boiling point
The point at which water starts to boil depends on the
height of your home above sea level. If the water is
boiling too vigorously or not vigorously enough, you can
set the boiling point. Proceed as follows:
▯
Select the basic setting
™†
; see the section
entitled
▯
The basic setting is set to 3 by default. If your home
is at an elevation between 200 and 400 m above sea
level, there is no need to change the boiling point. If
not, choose the correct setting from the following
table according to your altitude:
Note:
The temperature level 100 ºC is sufficient for
efficient boiling, even if the water does not boil very
quickly. However, you can change the boiling point. If,
for example, you want it to boil more quickly, you can
select a lower altitude.
