boiling
– For smaller quantities 1 level lower, for
larger quantities 1 level higher.
– To sear and parboil food, always select the
highest setting.
– Once the pot boils and steam forms or the
steak is brown on both sides, switch to a
lower level; for larger pots and pans use
the setting "2", otherwise setting "1" is suf-
ficient.
– Roasts weighing more than 1 kilogram are
best cooked in the oven.
– Use the right dishes and a little water/oil to
cook; this helps to preserve the vitamins.
– Use the residual heat of the cooking zones.

for example, for soaking rice.

saucepan wherever possible. Liquids can
be brought to the boil more quickly with the
lid on than without.

pans and pans. They lie flat on the hob

energy.
– Only use as much water as you really need
to cook the food. A lot of energy is required
to warm up water.
