14 Practical cooking tips
Below you will find some important tips on how
to use the new hob and cookware in an energy-
saving and efficient way.
The pot base diameter should be the
•
same size or only slightly larger than
the hob diameter.
When buying pots, note that frequently
•
the diameter at the top of the pot is
indicated. The diameter at the top of
the pot, however, is generally larger
than the bottom of the pot.
Due to their closed cooking chamber
•
and the pressure, pressure cookers are
particularly rime and energy-efficient.
Short cooking time preserves vitamins.
Always make sure there is a sufficient
•
amount of liquid in the pressure cooker,
as the hob and the cooker can be
damaged by overheating if the cooker
is empty.
If possible, always close pots with the
•
matching lid.
Use the right pot for the quantity of
•
food to be cooked.
Use the residual heat. Switch off the
•
appliance a little earlier and leave the
food to cook for another 5 minutes.
The figures in the tables are indicative
•
values only.
