17 SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS TempLock TempLock uses a temperature sensor to maintain a consistent temperature when cooking. When cool batter, liquid, or food is added to a hot pan, the pan cools down a little. TempLock senses this change and will use extra power to maintain the desired temperature setting. The feature also lets you know when your cookware is preheated, so making pancakes or sautéing fresh food has better results. The temperature of your cookware will depend on the level you select and the material of the cookware you use. Experiment a little to determine what worksfor you for cooking various dishes. Different pots and pans will hold at different temperatures, so you will need to learn how your cookware works with this feature. NOTE To get an idea of how hot a piece of cookware will get at a particular setting, try the Magnet Test (page 10). The more strongly a magnet clings to the cookware, the hotter that cookware will get at any particular setting on the cooktop. To get consistent results, use the same piece of cookware for particular cooking tasks. When using small amounts of oil for frying or sautéing, add the oil after the pan is preheated. Keep an eye on your cookware during preheat. Induction is powerful, and letting cookware get too hot while empty may warp or damage it.
