Tips on cooking and frying
3 Information about acrylamides
According to the latest scientific research, intensive browning of food, espe-
cially in products containing starch, may present a health risk due to acryla-
mide. Therefore we recommend cooking at low temperatures and not
browning foods too much.
Cookware
• You can recognise good cookware from the bottoms of the pans. The bot-
tom should be as thick and flat as possible.
• Cookware made of enamelled steel or with aluminium or copper bottoms
can leave discolourations on the ceramic glass surface which are difficult
or impossible to remove.
