TABLE OF COOKING TIMES
Soft Cooking
With a little water, cook for only a short time on the stove and then allow to simmer on the
DUROTHERM heat-retaining base – your vegetables retain their full aroma, fresh colours
and all the natural vitamins.
Soft Cooking, reading example with caulifl ower:
Always remove the heat-retaining base before placing your DUROTHERM on the stove.
Always keep the lid on when cooking.
1. Cut the caulifl ower into 2-cm-large rosettes and put in DUROTHERM with 5 cl water.
2. Cook on ¾ heat until steam starts to rise and the lid turns easily.
3. Turn down to lowest heat immediately and cook for another 5 minutes.
4. Remove DUROTHERM from heat and allow to simmer in heat-retaining base for 15 minutes until ready.
Enjoy your meal!
