A Moist scale B Dry scale C Temperature Arrow D Temperature Arrow window
TEMPERATURE SCALES (Image III
)
There are two different temperature scales, both having three colored elds (yellow,
green, red): the external scale shows the temperature ranges of Moist cooking, and
the internal scale shows the temperature ranges of Dry cooking.
The colors on the temperature scales indicate three stages of the cooking process:
1. Yellow area -preheating
2. Green area - cooking
3. Red area - overheating

The Zepter Analog Thermocontrol is a device that allows you to prepare healthy food
the proper way at the correct temperature and to control the cooking process without
lifting the lid. The Closed Circle process goes on undisturbed. The food cooks in its
own juice at low temperature, retaining its nutritive and biological values and saving
up to 70% of energy and up to 30% of food.
The Zepter Analog Thermocontrol guarantees the maximum precision and reliability
in the temperature reading, enabling higher control of the cooking process.
COOKING WITHOUT ADDED WATER
• When cooking without added water, always place freshly rinsed food in the cold
pot, either leaving it ¼ empty or lling it to 3 cm min, from the edge, and cover.
• Place the covered pot on the cold stove and turn on the heat source (medium to
high).
• When the Zepter Thermocontrol arrow reaches the halfway point of the green eld
on the moist scale, turn the heat down to the minimum.
• Food is cooked in its own juice, which remains in the pot.
• The steam, released by the food inside the pot, rises to the top. As the lid is cooler
than the rest of the pot, the steam condenses upon contact with it. The nutritional
liquid then drips down to the bottom and onto the food. This process goes on until
the food is perfectly cooked (Closed Circle).
• A water seal formed between the edge of the pot and the lid hermetically closes
the pot.
• Cooking is completed in approx. 20 minutes.

CAUTION
FRYING WITHOUT ADDED FATS
• When frying without added fats, always place the meat in a pre-heated pot.
• Place the empty covered pot on the stove and switch it on to the maximum
temperature for up to 5 minutes.
• The pot is ready for frying once the Zepter Thermocontrol arrow has reached the
halfway point of the green eld on the dry scale, or when, upon throwing a few
drops of water into the pan, they whirl around the bottom (“pearl effect”), after 5
minutes maximum.
• Always place the meat in the already heated empty pot and press the meat down to
sear it.
• After 30-60 seconds, turn the fried meat over and press again, then leave it to
cook, until ready.
• Turn the heat down to the minimum, turn off or remove the pot from the heat source.
• Use the lid depending on the frying method used.
• The frying process is completed in approx. 10 minutes.
