6.4 Recommended cooking settings Here you can find recommendations on cooking and an overview of various dishes with suitable heat levels. ¡ Select heat level 8 or 9 for bringing to a boil or initial fry- ing. ¡ Stir thick liquids occasionally. ¡ Food that needs to be seared quickly, or food which loses a lot of liquid during initial frying, is best seared in several small portions. ¡ When you cook with a lid on, turn the heat setting down as soon as steam escapes between lid and cookware. Operation en-us ¡ Keep the lid on the cookware after cooking until you serve the food. ¡ When you cook with a pressure cooker, observe the manufacturer's instructions. ¡ Do not cook food for too long or in too much water. Otherwise the nutrients will be lost. You can use the kitchen timer to set the optimum cooking time. ¡ Do not heat oil or grease until it smokes. You will achieve healthier cooking results. ¡ When you brown food, fry small portions one after the other. ¡ Cookware may become very hot during cooking. We recommend the use of pot holders. ¡ → "Saving energy", Page 8 Cooking charts The cooking chart shows which power level is suitable for each type of food.
