Food that needs to be seared quickly, or food which
¡
loses a lot of liquid during initial frying, is best seared in
several small portions.
When you cook with a lid on, turn the heat setting down
¡
as soon as steam escapes between lid and cookware.
Keep the lid on the cookware after cooking until you
¡
serve the food.
When you cook with a pressure cooker, observe the
¡
manufacturer's instructions.
Do not cook food for too long or in too much water. Oth-

Do not heat oil or grease until it smokes. You will
¡
achieve healthier cooking results.
When you brown food, fry small portions one after the
¡
other.
Cookware may become very hot during cooking. We
¡
recommend the use of pot holders.
