Cooking sensor mode
Benefits
▯
The cooking position only emits heat when this is
necessary to maintain the temperature. This saves
energy.
▯
The temperature is maintained continuously. This
prevents the food from boiling over. It also means
that you do not have to change the temperature
setting.
▯
Cooking sensor mode will tell you when the water
or oil has reached the optimal temperature for
adding the food (see the exceptions where the food
should be added at the very beginning).
Notes
–
Use pans with a thick, flat base.Do not use pans
with a thin or deformed base.
–
Fill the pan so that the contents reach high enough
to cover the cooking sensor's silicone patch.
–
Do not remove the cooking sensor from the
saucepan during cooking.
–
Remove the cooking sensor from the saucepan
after cooking. Be careful as the cooking sensor may
be very hot.
Tips for cooking with cooking sensor
mode
▯
Keeping warm/heating: Portions of frozen products,
e.g. spinach. Place the frozen product in the
cookware. Add the volume of water specified by the
manufacturer.Cover the cookware with a lid. Select
the temperature recommended in the table.
▯
Poaching: This cooking method is suitable for
cooking food at low temperatures, thickening
sauces, reducing stews and cooking with milk.
Select the temperature recommended in the table
for the food you want to cook.
▯
Boiling: This cooking method allows you to boil
water with a lid on without it boiling over. This
temperature control allows water to be boiled more
efficiently. Select the temperature recommended in
the table.
▯
Cooking in a pressure cooker: Follow the
manufacturer's recommendations. After the signal
tone sounds, continue cooking for the
recommended time. Select the temperature
recommended in the table.
▯
Deep-fat frying: It is recommended that you heat oil
with a lid on.Once the signal tone has sounded,
remove the lid and add the food. Select the
temperature recommended in the table for the food
you want to cook.
Notes
–
Always cook with the lid on except when using the
"Deep-fat frying" function.
–
If an audible signal does not sound, make sure
there is a lid on the pan.If there is a lid on the pan,
the appliance may have reached its maximum power
consumption or the
Power management
setting
may have been activated. This may affect the time
required to reach the selected temperature. Switch
off or reduce the temperature of the cooking
positions on which the other pans are placed. See
the section entitled
–
Never leave oil unattended when it is being heated.
Use oil that is suitable for deep-fat frying. Do not
mix different cooking fats and oils – e.g. oil and lard
– as such mixtures may foam up when hot.
–
If you are not satisfied with the cooking result, e.g.
when boiling potatoes, next time use more water but
keep the recommended temperature setting.
Setting the boiling point
The point at which water starts to boil depends on the
height of your home above sea level. If the water is
boiling too vigorously or not vigorously enough, you can
set the boiling point. Proceed as follows:
▯
Touch the
t
button and select the basic setting
Cooking sensor calibration
.
▯
The basic setting is set to 200-400 m by default. If
your home is between 200 and 400 metres above
sea level, you do not need to set the boiling point. If
it is not, select the setting that matches your home's
height above sea level.
Note:
A temperature setting of 100 ºC is sufficient for
efficient boiling, even if the water does not boil very
vigorously. However, the boiling point can be changed.
For example, you can set a lower altitude if you want the
water to boil more vigorously.
