Table - Cooking
Select the right saucepan size for each burner. The diameter of
the pot or pan base should be the same as that of the burner.
Cooking times depend on the type, weight and quality of the food.
Deviations are therefore possible. You yourself can best judge the
optimal cooking time.
Minerals and vitamins are very quickly destroyed during cooking.
Therefore, only use a little water. This will help you retain vitamins
and minerals. Select short cooking times so that the vegetables
remain firm and full of nutrients.
Always place the ovenware
centrally over the burner.
Otherwise, there is a risk that it
may tip over.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on the
burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps are
correctly positioned before
using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on the
hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and do not
place excessive weight on it.
Never use two burners or heat
sources to heat one single pan.
Do not use grill pans,
earthenware casserole dishes,
etc. for a long period of time on
maximum power.
