USES
Hi
Lo
Use Hi to bring liquid to a boil, or reach
pressure in a pressure cooker. Always
reduce setting to a lower heat when
liquids begin to boil or foods begin to
cook.
An intermediate flame size is used to
continue cooking. Food will not cook any
faster when a higher flame setting is
used than needed to maintain a gentle
boil. Water boils at the same tempera-
ture whether boiling gently or vigorously.
Use Lo to simmer foods, keep foods
warm and melt chocolate or butter.
Some cooking may take place on the
Lo setting if the pan is covered. It is
possible to reduce the heat by rotating
the knob toward OFF. Be sure flame is
stable.
