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.
You can find recommendations for energy-efficient cooking in
