Deep-fat frying
Always deep fry without a lid on the pot.
1.
Add the first portion and deep fry.
2.
Take it out. If the temperature symbol does not light up, the
fat is hot enough for the next portion. If it does light up, do not
add the next portion until the signal sounds and the
temperature symbol goes out.
3.
Deep fry the next portion.
Note:
Deep fry frozen food in small portions. The fat would
otherwise cool too quickly. Example: frozen chips: 1.5 l fat,
approx. 150 g chips per portion.
Cooking in a pressure cooker
Add liquid according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Bring pulses to the boil in the 100 °C temperature range. Skim
off the froth and seal the pressure cooker. Continue to cook in
the 120 °C temperature range.

Tips for cooking
Sensor frying system
If you operate the hotplate with the sensor frying system, a
sensor regulates the temperature of the pan.
Advantages when frying
The hotplate only heats up when necessary. This saves energy.
Oil and fat do not overheat.
Notes
■
Never leave fat unattended while you are heating it.
■
Put the pan in the centre of the hotplate. Make sure that the
base of the pan has the correct diameter.
■
Do not place a lid on the pan, otherwise the regulator will not
work. You can use a splatter guard; it will not prevent the
regulator from working.
■
Only use fat that is suitable for frying. For butter, margarine,
olive oil or lard, select the
min
frying setting.

Food frozen in a block
Place the frozen block, e.g. spinach, in the pot. Add liquid according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Put the lid on the pot. Select 70 °C as the temperature range. Stir occasionally.
Preparing food that absorbs a lot of
water (e.g. fish fillet)
Cook in less liquid. Make sure you put the lid on the pot.
Preparing food that tends to boil
over (e.g. pasta)
Put a lid on the pot even for food that boils over easily. This saves energy.
Thickening food
Bring the food to the boil at the recommended temperature. After the food has thickened,
leave it to stand at 90 °C.
Food, e.g. potatoes, are unevenly
cooked
Next time, use more water.
No signal sounds
Always place a lid on the pot. Then the regulating function will work best.
