Information for preparation
Cooking in little water
This gentle form of preparation uses very little
fluid for cooking vegetables or other food in the
covered pot. To prevent steam from escaping and
interrupting the water steam cycle, the firmly
closed insertable lid must not be removed.
Cooking in little water is ideal for vegetables, fish,
poultry or fresh meat. This cooking method largely
retains the vitamins, minerals and trace minerals
because they are not released into the water and
all foodstuffs retain their individual taste. General-
ly you do not need to add cooking salt.
Low-fat frying
When frying with fat, always put the fat into the
cold pot and then heat it up!
Set the temperature no higher than medium-high
or medium. Reduce the heat if the fat begins to
smoke slightly. Then place the food to be fried into
the pot.
Fry for 8–10 minutes on each side, keeping the lid
closed. The cooking time depends on the size and
quality of the food.
With this type of cooking with a closed lid, the
meat fries in its own juice and you can be sparing
with the amount of fat you use.

Be careful with hot fat.
Do not leave hot pots unattended. Do not extin-
guish burning fat with water. Use a blanket or a
fire extinguisher.

Information for induction hobs
Please note the following. Induction is a very rapid
heat source. Never heat up frying pans or pots
with no contents as overheating the cookware can
damage it.
When cooking on a high heat there may be a hum-
ming noise. This noise is due to technical reasons
and does not indicate that your hob or cookware
is faulty.
The pot size and the hob size must match, otherwise
the hob (magnetic field) will not react to the pot base.
