tips on cooking and frying electrolux 19
Tips on Cooking and Frying
Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific
knowledge, intensive browning of
food, especially in products con-
taining starch, can constitute a
health risk due to acrylamides.
Therefore we recommend cooking
at the lowest possible temperatures
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 discolorations on the glass
ceramic surface which are difficult or
impossible to remove.

20 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.
