Chef's recommendations

Recommendations

■ When heating up puree, cream soups and thick sauces, stir occasionally.

■ Set heat setting 8 to 9 for preheating.

■ When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting down as soon as steam escapes between the lid and the cookware. Steam does not need to escape for a good cooking result.

■ After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you serve the food.

■ To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the manufacturer's instructions.

■ Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the nutrients will be lost. The kitchen clock can be used to set the optimum cooking time.

■ For a more healthy cooking result, smoking oil should be avoided.

■ To brown food, fry small portions in succession.

■ Cookware may reach high temperatures while the food is cooking. We recommend that you use oven gloves.

■ You can find recommendations for energy-efficient cooking in section "Environmental protection"
