Table of cooking times

The following table provides some examples.

Cooking times and heat settings may vary depending

on the type of food, its weight and quality. Deviations

are therefore possible.

For bringing liquids to the boil, use heat setting 9.

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.

Tips for energy-saving cooking can be found in the
