Identifies a power level that is suitable for simmering long-cooking recipes. Suitable for cooking tomato sauce, ragu, 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.
Identifies a power level that is suitable for slowly melting delicate products without compromising their sensorial quality
(chocolate, butter, etc.).
Automatically identifies when water reaches boiling point and reduces the power to a level that maintains boiling until the
food is added. When the water reaches boiling point an acoustic signal is emitted, and any ingredients can be added (e.g.
condiments, pasta, rice, vegetables, meat and fish to be boiled) but also homemade preserves or accessories to be sterilized.
