small quantities. A small pan on a
small cooking zone uses less energy
than a large, partially filled pan on a
large cooking zone.

cook with.

water has come to the boil or the oil
is hot enough to fry in.

the cooking zone off about 5 to
10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time. In this way, use is
made of the residual heat.
