Table – Cooking
Select the right pan size for each hotplate. The diameter of the
pot or pan base should be the same as that of the hotplate.
Cooking times may vary depending on the type of food, its
weight and quality. You yourself can best judge the optimal
cooking time.
Use as little water as possible when cooking, so that the food
retains its vitamins and minerals. Select short cooking times so
that the vegetables remain firm and full of nutrients.
