7 | Cooking with the Sicomatic® t-plus
Maintaining the cookware and hob
→ Do not knock kitchen gadgets on the pouring rim.
This prevents damage to the pouring rim.
→ Only add salt to water that is already boiling, and
then stir it.
This prevents the salt from attacking the bottom of the
pot.
→ Never slide the cookware back and forth across
ceramic cooking zones.
This prevents residue between the cookware and the
ceramic cooking zone from scratching the hob.
When using on a gas hob:
→ Make sure that the gas flame is never larger than the
base of the cooker.
To prevent damaging the handles and seals.
7.1
Filling the cooker
Respect the maximum filling quantities and
never overfill the cooker.
Danger
Overfilling the cooker can cause hot water, cooked food
or hot food to leak out of the operating valve.
On gas hobs, this can extinguish the gas flame and gas
continues to be discharged at the hob.
→ Fill the cooker to a maximum of 2/3 of its nominal
content.
→ Fill the cooker to a maximum of half of its nominal
content if you are cooking foods that overly swell
or froth, such as soups, pulses, stews, stocks, giblets
and pasta.
This protects against burns and scalds.
Preventing damage caused by small filling
amounts.
Warning
If the quantity is too small, this can cause the cooker to
overheat and cause damage to the cookware and the
hob.
→ Always fill with sufficient liquid to allow steam to be
generated.
→ Make sure you use sufficient liquid, especially with
viscous foods.
This prevents the pot from "boiling dry" and prevents
damage to the pot and hob.
