Tips on Cooking and Frying
Information on acrylamides According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing 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. · 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 Always place cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on. Switch cooking zones off before the end of the cooking time, to take advantage of residual heat. Bottom of pans and cooking zones should be the same size.
