6.12 AutoChef®
With the AutoChef® function, a sensor controls the tem-
perature of the pan. You can fry while the pan maintains
the selected temperature.
Advantages when using the AutoChef® function:
¡
The cooking zone only continues heating for as long as
this is necessary to maintain the temperature. This
saves energy and prevents the oil or fat from overheat-
ing.
¡
The frying function reports when the empty frying pan
has reached the optimum temperature for adding oil
and then for adding the food.
General notes for using the AutoChef® function:
¡
Do not place a lid on the frying pan. This will prevent the
function from activating correctly. Use a splatter guard
to prevent fat from spitting out.
¡
Use suitable oil or fat. If you are using butter, mar-
garine, cold-pressed olive oil or lard, use temperature
setting 1 or 2.
¡
Never leave fat or oil unattended while you are heating
it.
¡
If the cooking zone is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the cooking sensor is not acti-
vated correctly.
¡
If you are frying with a large amount of oil, always use
the following cooking sensor functions: Deep-fat frying
with a large amount of oil in a saucepan, set the tem-
perature to 320 - 355° F (160 – 180 °C).
Suitable pans for AutoChef®
A suitable sensor frying pan for the AutoChef® function is
available as an optional accessory.
You can purchase suitable sensor frying pans from Cus-
tomer Service, in our online shop www.bosch-home.com/
us/shop or in specialized stores. Always indicate the rele-
vant reference number.
