1)
For smaller quantities set to 1 level
lower, for larger quantities 1 level
higher.
• To sear and parboil food, always select
the highest setting.
• As soon as the contents of the pot have
started to cook and steam is forming or
the steak is brown on both sides, you can
lower the heat. For larger pots and pans,
setting “2” is recommended; otherwise
setting “1” is enough.
• Roasts weighing more than 1 kilogram
are best cooked in the oven.
• Use the right dishes and a little water/oil to
cook; this helps to preserve the vitamins.
• Use the residual heat of the cooking
zones. The heat is sufficient for 5 to 10
minutes, for example, for soaking rice.
