TIPS FOR OPTIMAL USE
Although best performance is achieved by perfecting your technique through
experience, a few tricks can make it easier to use the appliance right from the start.
Always keep in mind that:
 The ideal cooking time is always affected by the amount of food placed in the drawer:
in the case of large quantities, it is always a good idea to extend the cooking time by a
few minutes and vice versa
 In the case of portioned food (meatballs, chunks, etc.), the cooking time should be
slightly shorter than for the same volume of food in a single piece.
 Drawer opening, although necessary in some cases for stirring, has a considerable
impact on the internal temperature; operations with the drawer open should therefore
be carried out in the shortest possible time, always considering the necessary safety
precautions
 The need to stir is all the greater the more finely portioned the food is. In most cases,
a single stirring halfway through the cooking process is sufficient for a good end result.
 When preparing chips, a small amount of oil (approx. ½ tablespoon) can be used to
improve cooking, spreading it over the surface with a food spray before putting them
the appliance or brushing it on with a food brush. Check in any case that they have not
been pre-treated in production with the application of greasy or oily seasoning.
 The ideal quantity of chips in a single batch is 500 grams.
 Avoid cooking extremely fatty foods such as sausages or particularly greasy coarse-
textured sausages.
 The appliance can be used to reheat cold food, setting a temperature of 150° C and a
time generally not exceeding 10 minutes.
