Tips for using PowerStart™
AutoChef™
When you are using AutoChef™ to operate the heating
element, a sensor controls the temperature of the pan.
Advantages when frying
The cooking element only heats when it is necessary.
This saves energy. Oil and grease do not overheat.
9 CAUTION
▯
Never leave oil or fat cooking unattended.
▯
Place the pan in the centre of the element. Make
sure that the base of the pan has the proper
diameter.
▯
Do not cover the pan with a lid. The automatic
regulation will not work. A mash splatter guard
can be used without affecting the automatic
regulation.
▯
Only use fat or oil that is suitable for frying. When
you are using butter, margarine, olive oil or pork
lard, select the min temperature setting.
▯
AutoChef™ is not suitable for boiling.
System pans for AutoChef™

Otherwise, the controller will not work properly and may
cause your pans to overheat.

system pan.

Foods for which PowerStart™ is appropriate Quantity Heat setting

bring foods to a boil
It is designed to conserve the food’s nutritional value while using little water for
cooking. Add only about 2 cups of water to the food for the large elements and
about ¾ - 1 cup of water for the small elements.
Cook rice in double the quantity of liquid.
The PowerStart™ feature is not suited for foods that are cooked in a large
quantity of water (e.g pasta).
Milk and foods that produce a lot of
froth will boil over
Use a tall pot.
Milk will stick Rinse the pan with cold water before filling it.
When frying, the food may stick to
the pan
Preheat the frying pan and oil before adding food. Do not turn the food too
soon. Food will separate from the bottom of the pan after cooking a short time.
