Cooking functions
You can use these functions to heat, simmer or cook
food, or cook it in a pressure cooker or fry it in a
saucepan with sufficient oil at a controlled temperature.
These cooking functions are available for all cooking
zones.
Benefits
■
The cooking zone only continues heating for as long
as this is necessary to maintain the temperature.This
saves energy and prevents the oil or fat from being
overheated.
The temperature is continuously monitored.This
prevents the food from boiling over the edge of the
cookware. In addition, the temperature setting does
not need to be changed.
■
The cooking functions inform you when the water or
oil has reached the optimal temperature for adding
the food (see the table for exceptions where food
should be added right at the beginning).
Notes
■
The amount of food in the cookware must be
sufficient to cover the silicone patch of the
temperature sensor.
■
Always use the frying sensor when frying with a
small amount of oil.
■
Always position the cookware such that the
temperature sensor is not facing another item of
cookware.
■
The temperature sensor may not be removed from
the cookware during the cooking process.Once the
cooking process has ended, the functions can be
selected for another cooking zone.
■
Remove the temperature sensor once you have
finished cooking. Caution: The temperature sensor
may be very hot.
Temperature ranges and settings
Tips for cooking with the cooking functions
■
Heating/keep-warm function: Frozen products in
portions, e.g. spinach. Place the frozen product in
the cookware. Add the quantity of water specified by
the manufacturer. Cover the cookware and select
the 1/70 °C setting. Stir during cooking.
■
Simmering: Thicken food, e.g. sauces. Bring the
food to the boil at the recommended temperature.
Once the food has thickened, simmer at setting 2/
90 °C.
When the signal sounds, keep the food warm at this
setting for the required time.
■
Boiling: Heat up water with the lid on. It will not boil
over. Select temperature setting 3/100 ºC.
■
Cooking in a pressure cooker function: Follow the
manufacturer's recommendations. Continue cooking
for the recommended time once the signal has
sounded. Select temperature setting 4/120 ºC.
■
Frying with a large amount of oil in the saucepan
function: Heat the oil with the lid on. Once the signal
has sounded, take the lid off and add the food.
Select temperature setting 5/170 ºC.
Notes
■
Always cook with the lid on. Exception: "Frying with a
large amount of oil in the saucepan", temperature
setting 5/170 °C.
■
If an audible signal does not sound, make sure that
the lid is on the pan.
■
Never leave oil unattended during heating. Use oil or
fat that is suitable for frying. Do not mix different
cooking fats together, e.g. oil and lard. Mixtures of
different fats may froth up when hot.
■
If you are not satisfied with the cooking result, e.g.
when cooking potatoes, next time use less 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. You can set the
boiling point if water is boiling too strongly or not
strongly enough. To do this, proceed as follows:
■
Select the cooking function basic setting; see the
section entitled
~
"Basic settings"
■
The basic setting is set to 200 - 400 m by default. If
your home is at an elevation of between 200 and
400 m above sea level, you do not need to set the
boiling point; outside of this range, you will need to
select the setting that corresponds to the elevation
of your home above sea level.
Note:
Temperature setting 3/100 °C allows for efficient
cooking even if the water does not boil very strongly
during the heating process.However, if you are not
satisfied with the boiling result, you can change the
boiling point setting.
