Advise and Tips for Using the Cooking Zones
!
Use close-fitting lids on the
pans.
Failure to use a lid on a pan uses
over three times as much electric-
ity.
!
Save water: Boil in as little
water as possible. Cook potatoes
and vegetables in 1, 2 or 3 dl
water.
Use 1 dl water for the 14 cm
zone.
Use 3 dl water for the 21 cm
zone.
Cover the pan with a close-fitting
lid. Bring to the boil at the high-
est heat and then turn down to the
lowest possible heat when steam
starts emerging strongly from the
lid. Calculate the cooking time
from when you turn down the
heat. Avoid looking at
potatoes/vegetables until the
cooking time is complete.
!
Turn down immediately the
pan starts to boil. Choose the
correct heat setting. Start at the
highest setting and turn down as
far as possible without the food
going off the boil.
!
Use the hot zone for the next pan.
!
Defrost food in the refrigerator.
!
It saves energy to cook in a pan
on a zone rather than in the oven.
By using the advise below you
can save energy and ease
cleaning.
