Tips on Cooking and Frying
3Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, es-
pecially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to
acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible tem-
peratures and not browning foods too much.
Cookware
•You can recognise good cookware from the bottoms of the pans. The bot-
tom 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.
Energy saving
2Always place cookware on the cooking
zone before it is switched on.
2If possible, always place lids on the pans.
2Switch cooking zones off before the end
of the cooking time, to take advantage of
residual heat.
2Bottom of pans and cooking zones
should be the same size.
