Tips on Cooking and Frying

Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowl-
edge, intensive browning of food, espe-
cially in products containing starch, can
constitute a health risk due to acryla-
mides. Therefore we recommend cook-
ing at the lowest possible temperatures
and not browning foods too much.
Cookware
• You can recognise good cookware from
the bottoms of the pans. The bottom
should be as thick and flat as possible.
• Cookware made of enamelled steel or with
aluminium or copper bottoms can leave
discolorations on the glass ceramic sur-
face which are difficult or impossible to re-
move.

Always place cookware on the cooking
zone before it is switched on.
If possible, always place lids on the
pans.
Switch cooking zones off before the end
of the cooking time, to take advantage
of residual heat.
Bottom of pans and cooking zones
should be the same size.
