The temperature and cooking time depend on the amount, composition and temperature of the food. ExtraLow® (XLO) Cooking Table ▯ Check the food occasionally to see if the control knob should be turned to a lower or higher setting. ▯ It is normal to stir food occasionally. This is especially important when simmering for several hours, such as homemade sauce or beans. ▯ Simmer bubbles may not be seen when the flame has cycled OFF. ▯ While the flame is ON, there may be bubbling. There should be at least steam and a slight quivering of the liquid's surface. ▯ Use a lower XLO setting if the pan is covered. ▯ When lowering the flame setting, adjust it one XLO setting at a time. ▯ If a setting is too low to hold a simmer, bring the food back to a boil before resetting to a higher heat. ▯ If an oversized pan is used, the simmer action may occur more in the center. For even cooking, stir the food around the outer edges into the food in the center. ▯ The quantity and type of food affects which setting to use.
