Cooking food
Food that lies flat will cook more quickly than food that is
piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so
that it is as flat as possible in the cookware. Food should
not be placed in layers on top of one another.
Cook the food in cookware with a lid. It should be turned
or stirred occasionally.
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it
will require less seasoning.
After heating, allow the food to stand for an additional 2
to 5 minutes to allow the temperature to even out.
Note:
Place the cookware on the cooking compartment
floor.
