7 How it works
You can find the right settings for different food here as
well as helpful comments. We have perfectly tailored
these recommendations to your appliance.
7.1 Tips for boiling and frying
¡Do not place the food on the appliance until the
heating display has gone out. When increasing the
temperature between two preparations, do not place
the food until the heating display has gone out.
¡Use the spatula to press the meat, poultry and fish
pieces flat on the frying surface. In order not to des-
troy fibres, do not turn the food until it is easily de-
tached from the plate. Otherwise, liquid may leak
out, causing the food to dry out.
¡When roasting, ensure that the pieces of meat,
poultry and fish do not touch each other. Otherwise,
the food may draw out liquid.
¡Do not pierce or cut the meat while cooking it, oth-
erwise meat juice may escape.
¡To prevent water and soluble nutrients from escap-
ing, do not add salt to meat, poultry or fish until it
has been fried.
¡Before frying, you can roll fish fillets in flour so that
the fish fillet sticks less firmly.
¡Fry fish fillets on the skin side first. If possible, only
turn the fish fillet once.
¡Only use oils and fats that can be heated to a high
temperature and are suitable for frying, e.g. refined
plant oils or clarified butter.
¡The frying surface is hotter in the centre than in the
edge area. If you are cooking food with different
cooking times and temperature requirements at the
same time, you can arrange the food optimally on
the plate.
Also take note of the different temperatures for the
frying surface when selecting the quantity of food.
The thinner the food, the higher the temperature and
the shorter the cooking time.
¡When working with only one heating zone, select the
highest setting in each case for the temperature
range specified in the cooking table. Alternatively,
you can set 10°C more than you are used to from
preparing using both heating zones. Use approx.
half of the specified quantity.
