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.
