Table 2: Proper Cookware Practices

Practice

c)Use a Lid That Fits Properly

•A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time.

Pans that span 2 burners, i.e. griddles, roasters and fish poachers, may be used when placed front to back. Adjust flame equally to cook evenly. Use the Bosch accessory griddle on your Bosch cooktop. To order call the number listed on the back cover.

Use a Wok with a flat bottom. If using a round bottomed wok, use the Bosch accessory support wok ring. To order call the number listed on the back cover.

For simmering stews and soups, or melting chocolate, use the Bosch simmer plate accessory. The simmer plate distributes the heat evenly and gently. The simmer plate is supplied with NGP models only, but is available separately for the NGT. Follow use and care instructions provided with the simmer plate.

Canners and pressure cookers must meet the same requirements as described above. After bringing contents to a boil, use lowest heat setting possible to maintain a boil or pressure (for pressure canners/cookers).
