Practice and experience will ultimately determine the heat settings most appropriate for you.
There will be some variation in the efficiency of the pots being used
–
all brands will not
behave in exactly the same way. Don’t be afraid to experiment and get
your own comfort
level for using the cooktop. Once you experience the versatility, control and speed the
induction cooktop offers, you will never want to go back to conventional gas or electric
cooking.
You may want to make notations in your cooking references when you determine a setting
most appropriate for a particular food item. There is a blank table at the back of this manual to
note special food/power level settings.
