Energy-Saving Tips
●
Use cookware of medium weight —
aluminum, with tight-fitting covers,
and flat bottoms which completely
cover the heated portion of the
surface unit.
●
Cook fresh vegetables with a
minimum amount of water in a
covered pan.
. Watch foods when bringing them
quickly to cooking temperatures at
high heat. When food reaches
cooking temperature, reduce heat
immediately to lowest setting that
will keep it cooking.
●
Use residual heat whenever
possible. For example, when
cooking eggs in the shell, bring
water and eggs to boil, then turn to
OFF position and cover with lid to
complete the cooking.
●
Always turn surface unit OFF
before removing cookware.
●
Use correct heat for cooking task:
(see illustrations of control knobs
on page 6.)
.
HI (7)—to start cooking (if time
allows, do not use high heat to
start).
MED HI (5-6)—quick browning.
MED (4)–slow frying.
MED LO (2-3)—finish cooking
most quantities, simmer—double
boiler heat, finish cooking, and
special for small quantities.
LO (l)—to maintain serving
temperature of most foods.
●
When boiling water for tea or
coffee, heat only amount needed.
It is not economical to boil a
container full of water for one
or two cups.
