▯
dishes like milk, pudding, rice pudding or cereals heat
up with setting 8 - 8.5.

During cooking, stews or liquid meals such as
soups, sauces or drinks can heat up too quickly
unnoticed and overflow or spatter. For this reason
we recommend that you stir continuously, gradually
heating the food at a suitable power level.
