¡ Select power level 8 or 9 for bringing water to a boil or
heating up the pan.

¡ Food that needs to be seared quickly, or food which
loses a lot of liquid during initial frying, is best seared in
several small portions.
¡ When you cook with a lid on, turn the heat setting down
as soon as steam escapes between lid and cookware.
¡ Keep the lid on the cookware after cooking until you
serve the food.
¡ When you cook with a pressure cooker, observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
