MAIN COOKING METHODS
(Each method may include additional options)
MELTING
To bring food to the ideal temperature for melting and to maintain the
condition of the food without risk of burning.
This method does not damage delicate foods such as chocolate, and
prevents them from sticking to the pot.
The rate of cooking can be adjusted at any time using the "+" and "–"
buttons on the right-hand display.
SIMMERING
For slow-cook dishes and for slowly evaporating liquid, maintaining
the condition of the food without risk of burning. This method does not
damage food, and prevents it from sticking to the pot.
The quality and type of pot can affect performance or cooking times.
The rate of cooking can be adjusted at any time using the "+" and "–"
buttons on the right-hand display.
BOILING
To efficiently heat water and alert the user when it begins to boil, via an
audible and visual signal.
While awaiting confirmation from the user, the system keeps the water
at a controlled simmer, preventing spills and wasted energy. Whilst this
function is active, an audible alarm warns the user if the pot is empty (no
water) or if it has boiled dry.
Only add salt after the boiling alert has sounded.
PAN FRYING
To preheat or season an empty pot or pan. An audible and visual signal
indicates that the ideal temperature has been reached for food to be added
to the pot or pan. While awaiting confirmation from the user, the system
keeps the accessory at a controlled heat, preventing the pan from reaching
damaging temperatures and avoiding energy wastage.
For optimum conditions, use this function with pots and seasoning at room
temperature.
Do not use the lid - to protect against splashes, a splash guard is recommended.
It is advisable to use oils that are suitable for frying when cooking with
this function, such as seed oils of various types. When using different oils,
always take extra care to supervise cooking during first use.
GRILLING
This function allows for optimum grilling of a range of foods, according
to their thickness. When the ideal temperature has been reached for food
to be added, the hob beeps. The hob then stabilises the temperature
throughout cooking, keeping it constant. Once the user has confirmed that
food has been added, cooking begins.
It is advisable to prepare the food during the heating stage, adding it as
soon as you hear the beep.
For optimum conditions, use this function with pots and seasoning at room
temperature.
If you are not using the wire rack designed for this purpose, take extra
care when first using the grill function, as the quality of the base may
affect heating times. Accessories with very thin bases can reach very high
temperatures in a short time.
MOKA
This function allows "moka" stove-top coffee makers to be heated
automatically. The heating cycle can be activated by selecting the function
in the menu, and a beep will sound when the coffee is ready. The function
is programmed to switch off automatically, preventing spills. When using
for the first time, always check that the conditions described are met. For
optimum conditions, use this function with the coffee maker and water at
room temperature.
Please note: Try not to move the pot or pan during the first minute of heating,
in order to allow the hob to function optimally.
