Frying sensor function
You can use the frying sensor function to prepare food
in the frying pan with a little oil.
This function is available for all hotplates.
Advantages
▯
The hotplate only heats up when necessary. This
saves energy. Oil and fat will not overheat.
▯
An audible signal will sound once the empty frying
pan has reached the optimum temperature for
adding oil and food.
Notes
‒
Do not place a lid on the pan. Otherwise, the
function does not activate correctly. You can use a
splatter guard to prevent splashes of grease.
‒
Use oil or fat that is suitable for frying. If you are
using butter, margarine, cold-pressed olive oil or
lard, use temperature setting 1 or 2.
‒
Never leave a frying pan unattended during heating,
regardless of whether or not it contains food.
‒
If the hotplate is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the temperature sensor will
not be activated correctly.
‒
For frying with a large quantity of oil, always use the
cooking sensor function. "Fry with a large quantity
of oil in a saucepan", at 170-180 °C.
