Chef's recommendations Recommendations ▯ Stir occasionally when heating up purees, creamy soups and thick sauces. ▯ For preheating, select heat setting 8 or 9. ▯ When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting down as soon as steam starts to escape from between the lid and the cookware. ▯ After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you serve the food. ▯ To cook with the pressure cooker, follow the manufacturer's instructions. ▯ Do not cook food for too long, otherwise nutrients will be lost. The kitchen timer can be used to set the optimum cooking time. ▯ For healthier cooking results, oils and fats should not be heated to their smoke point. ▯ To brown food, fry small portions one after the other. ▯ Cookware may reach high temperatures while the food is cooking. We recommend that you use pot holders. ▯ You can find recommendations for energy-efficient cooking in the section entitled ~ "Cooking with Induction" Cooking table The table shows which heat setting is suitable for each type of food.
