tips on cooking and frying electrolux 51
Tips on cooking and frying
Information about acrylamides
According to the latest scientific re-
search, intensive browning of food,
especially in products containing
starch, may present a health risk
due to acrylamide. Therefore we
recommend cooking at low temper-
atures and not browning foods too
much.
Cookware
•You can recognise good cookware
from the bottoms of the pans. The
bottom should be as thick and flat as
possible.
•Cookware made of enamelled steel
or with aluminium or copper bottoms
can leave discolourations on the ce-
ramic glass surface which are diffi-
cult or impossible to remove.

52 electrolux tips on cooking and frying
Energy saving
Always place cookware on the
cooking zone before it is switched
on.
If possible, always place lids on the
pans.
Switch cooking zones off before the
end of the cooking time, to take ad-
vantage of residual heat.
Bottom of pans and cooking zones
should be the same size.
