8.4 Cooking tips
¡ When heating up puree, cream soups or thick
sauces, stir occasionally.
¡ To preheat, set the power level 8-9.
¡ When cooking with the lid on, reduce the power
level as soon as you see steam escaping. The
cooking result is not affected by the steam escap-
ing.
¡ After cooking, place a lid on the cookware until you
serve the dish.
¡ To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the man-
ufacturer's instructions.
¡ Do not cook food for too long, otherwise nutrients
will be lost. The kitchen timer enables you to set the
optimal cooking time.
¡ Ensure that the oil does not smoke.
¡ To brown the food, fry it in small portions, one after
the other.
¡ Some items of cookware may reach high temperat-
ures while the food is cooking. You should therefore
use oven gloves.
¡ You can find recommendations for energy-efficient
