Advice on cooking

Some traditional methods of cooking, such as double boiler (bain-marie) for creams, sauces, chocolate, etc. are no longer necessary, because now you can cook these directly in the

pan, thanks to perfect power regulation and even temperature distribution of the induction system.

You can use the “Booster” function with water and soups until they boil, then use a lower level immediately to avoid too much steam and to save energy.

When frying heat the oil to the highest power level, then turn down if needed to a medium level when adding food to the pan.

Always use pots and pans with a proper lid.

Reduce the selected power in the cooking area in time, in the case of water do not let it boil unnecessarily for too long.

Always choose containers of an adequate size for the amount of food to be cooked. A large pot which is not completely full consumes a lot of energy.

For the best cooking results, metal pots and pans with a flat bottom are recommended. Make sure the bottom of the pan corresponds with the cooking area indicated on the glass.

To save energy cook vegetables and potatoes in a small amount of water. Do not heat empty pans otherwise they may be damaged and can also ruin the glass cooking area.

The following table gives you some examples of cooking methods, these levels may vary depending on the type of container, weight or food.

Setting Recommended Use

All the settings described in the following table are recommended. The values in the table represent indicative settings, given that the actual values may depend on:

•Type and quality of the pan.

•Type, quantity and temperature of the food.

•Element used and individual preferences.

Low Temperature Function

Low temperature function allows a low-temperature cooking, such as melting butter or chocolate, making sauces or long slow simmers. This function consists of nine power levels that provides a range of temperatures for melting or even boiling. Working in this mode, cooktop provides a temperature control that can keep the heater above the glass at any of the temperature shown in table below.

Power Level	Temperature °F (°C)
1	120 (50)
2	140 60)
3	160 (70)
4	175 (80)
5	195 (90)
6	210 (100)
7	230 (110)
8	250 (120)
9	265 (130)
