Function
Description of function
Simmering
Identifies a power level that is suitable for simmering long-cooking recipes. Suitable for cooking tomato sauce, ragoût, soups,
minestrone, maintaining a controlled cooking level (ideal for cooking in a bain-marie). Prevents food from boiling over or
sticking to the bottom and burning, as often happens with these recipes.
Use this function after bringing the pot to the boil.
Melting
Identifies a power level that is suitable for slowly melting delicate products without compromising their sensorial quality
(chocolate, butter, etc.).
Sixth Sense
Automatically identifies when water reaches boiling point and reduces the power to a level that maintains boiling until the
food is added. When water reaches boiling point, an acoustic signal sounds, prompting the user to add the desired ingredients
(e.g. condiments, pasta, rice, vegetables, meat and fish to be boiled) but also home-made preserves or accessories to be
sterilized.
Flexi Cook
This function combines two cooking zones to offer an extra-large cooking surface for rectangular and oval containers or
grilling pans.
To grill large or many food items (fish, kebabs, vegetables, steaks, frankfurters).
To cook recipes with liquids or broth such as rolled joints and whole fish in casseroles/fish kettles/pans.
