1. Select a pan.
2. In the menu bar, press this button:
3. Press this button:
4. Press this button: Braising / Stewing
>
The intelligent cooking path will start, and the pan will be preheated to the preset temperature.
5. Use the cooking parameters to specify the results you want [ } 34].
>
After a few moments, the display will switch to Cockpit [ } 38] view.
6. Follow the unit’s instructions.
>
Once the cooking time has elapsed or the food has reached the set core temperature, a signal tone will sound,
prompting you to check whether the food has reached your desired level of doneness.
7. If the results are the way you want them, remove the food from the pan.
8. If the food has not yet reached your desired degree of doneness, use one of the suggested options to continue
the cooking path.
5.5 Fine-tuning your results
After you have selected an intelligent cooking path, the unit will show you specific cooking parameters and
functions for that path. By default, cooking paths use standard settings tailored to your country; these settings are
designed to give you ideal cooking results. You can adjust these parameters and select additional functions using
simple gestures [
} 17] or the central selection knob [ } 17]. Changing these settings will change the process used in
the cooking path. You can check on the unit’s progress at any time via the Cockpit [ } 38].
5.5.1 Cooking parameters
Degree of searing
This cooking parameter lets you select whether to sear the food or not. Use the settings to specify more or less
searing, depending on the results you want. Less searing means less cooking shrinkage. Choosing
without will
skip the searing step entirely. Choose without if you are using smaller, previously seared pieces of meat and want
to finish cooking them gently.
Searing is done at a very high temperature, which reliably kills any bacteria on the outside of the product, so you
can use a lower core temperature without worrying about hygiene issues.
browning
Use this cooking parameter to indicate how brown you want the outside of the food. Use the settings to increase
or decrease browning intensity, depending on the results you want. Seasoning or marinating with herbs, spices, or
pastes that brown easily will cause your food to brown more rapidly and more intensely, so we recommend using
a lower browning level in those instances.
Delta-T cooking
This cooking parameter is used to maintain a constant differential between the temperature of the cooking liquid
and the core temperature. Raising the temperature of the cooking liquid gradually, while maintaining a constant
differential to the core temperature, helps cook the food slowly and gently while minimizing cooking losses. You
can set the differential anywhere between 10°C and 60°C. To do this, you will need to set your target core
temperature.
The smaller the difference between the cooking liquid temperature and the core temperature, the more slowly and
gently the food will cook. The greater the difference between the cooking liquid temperature and the core
temperature, the quicker the food will cook.
Meat types
Use this cooking parameter to specify whether you are preparing white meat (such as poultry or pork) or red meat
(such as beef or lamb).
food thickness
Use this parameter to specify whether your food is thin (less than 2 cm thick) or thick (more than 2 cm thick).
