Precise Temperature Control
Precise Temperature Control uses a tem-
perature sensor to maintain a consistent
temperature when cooking. When cool
batter, liquid, or food is added to a hot
pan, the pan cools down a little.
Precise Temperature Control senses this change and
will use extra power to maintain the desired tempera-
ture setting. The feature also lets you know when your
cookware is preheated, so making pancakes or sau-
téing fresh food has better results.
The temperature of your cookware will depend on the
level you select and the material of the cookware you
use. Experiment a little to determine what worksfor you
for cooking various dishes. Diff erent pots and pans
will hold at diff erent temperatures, so you will need to
learn how your cookware works with this feature.

NOTE
To get an idea of how hot a piece of cookware will
get at a particular setting, try the Magnet Test (page
10). The more strongly a magnet clings to the
cookware, the hotter that cookware will get at any
particular setting on the cooktop.
To get consistent results, use the same piece of
cookware for particular cooking tasks.
When using small amounts of oil for frying or sau-
téing, add the oil after the pan is preheated.
Keep an eye on your cookware during preheat.
Induction is powerful, and letting cookware get too
hot while empty may warp or damage it.
