Chef's recommendations

Recommendations
When heating up puree, cream soups and thick
■
sauces, stir occasionally.
Set heat setting 8 to 9 for preheating.
■
When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting
■
down as soon as steam escapes between the lid
and the cookware. Steam does not need to escape
for a good cooking result.
After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you
■
serve the food.
To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the
■
manufacturer's instructions.
Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the
■
nutrients will be lost. The kitchen clock can be used
to set the optimum cooking time.
For a more healthy cooking result, smoking oil
■
should be avoided.
To brown food, fry small portions in succession.
■
Cookware may reach high temperatures while the
■
food is cooking. We recommend that you use oven
gloves.
