Cooking functions
You can use these functions to heat, simmer or cook
food, or cook it in a pressure cooker or fry it in a
saucepan with sufficient oil at a controlled temperature.
These cooking functions are available for all hotplates.
Benefits
The cooking zone only continues heating for as long
■
as this is necessary to maintain the temperature.
This saves energy and prevents oil or fat from
overheating.
The temperature is continuously monitored. This
■
prevents the food from spilling over. In addition, the
temperature setting does not need to be changed.
A signal sounds once the water or oil has reached
■
the optimum temperature for adding the food. The
table shows if the food needs to be added right at
the start.
Notes
Use pots and pans with a thick, flat base. Do not use
■
pots and pans with a thin or domed base.
Fill the pot so that the contents reach high enough to
■
cover the cooking sensor's silicone patch.
Use the frying sensor when frying with a small
■
amount of oil.
Position the cookware in such a way that the
■
cooking sensor is pointing towards the outer side of
the hob.
Do not remove the cooking sensor from the pot
■
during cooking.
Remove the cooking sensor from the pot after
■
cooking. Be careful as the cooking sensor may be
very hot.
