¡ Stir thick liquids occasionally.
¡ 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.
¡ Do not cook food for too long or in too much water. Oth-
erwise the nutrients will be lost. You can use the kitchen
timer to set the optimum cooking time.
→ "Kitchen timer", Page 13
¡ Do not heat oil or grease until it smokes. You will
achieve healthier cooking results.
¡ When you brown food, fry small portions one after the
other.
¡ Cookware may become very hot during cooking. We
recommend the use of pot holders.
