REMEMBER:
Solid plates maintain heat for up to five
minutes after switching off, so when boi-
ling or frying, turn down the power setting
after reaching operating temperature.
BOILING AND SIMMERING:
Boiling and simmering can be carried out
on any of the four plates.
FRYING:
Generally frying is carried out on the lar-
ger plates. It is important not to leave
frying unattended even for a short while.
Do not use a chip-pan more than one
third full of fat or oil.
