Cooking Guidelines - Pkm KF3 Bedienungsanleitung

❖ Use pot-lids to shorten cooking times and save energy.
❖ Minimise the amount of cooking liquids or fat/oil to shorten cooking times.
❖ Select a high-power level when you start cooking. Reduce the power level when
your food has been heated up.
❖ For long cooking times: Switch off the cooking zones 5 to 10 minutes before you
will finish cooking. This saves up to 20 % of energy.
❖ You can use the residual heat of the cooking zones for saving energy when
starting a new cooking procedure on a cooking zone which is still warm / hot.
❖ Do not install the appliance near of refrigerators / freezers. Otherwise, the energy
consumption increases unnecessarily.

6. Cooking guidelines

WARNING! Be very careful when frying, because oil and fat heat up
very fast especially when operating a high-power level. Extremely hot oil
and fat inflame spontaneously and represent a serious fire risk.
WARNING! NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water but switch off the
appliance and then cover flame e.g., with a lid or a fire blanket.
CAUTION! Cooking utensils may become hot because of the heat
transferred by the heated food. Potholders or oven gloves may be needed
to handle such utensils.
NOTICE! Only use cookware which is suitable to be used on glass
ceramic; otherwise, you will damage the appliance.
❖ Simmering is cooking with a temperature of approx. 85
small bubbles ascend to the surface of the cooking liquid. Simmering is a perfect
way to cook delicious soups and stews as the flavours of the food unfold
completely without being over-heated. You should also cook egg-based sauces
and sauces thickened with flour in this way.
❖ Some cooking procedures, including the cooking of rice with the absorption-
method (= the water is consumed completely), require a setting above the lowest
power level, so the food is cooked within the recommended cooking time.
