Vegetables, Side Dishes and Eggs
Steamed vegetables are easy to make on your cooktop.
Bring the water and vegetable to a boil with a lid on High
heat, then turn down to a lower setting until tender.
Cereals and rice should be cooked on the large or
medium burner on High heat, and then finished
according to the recipe instructions or until liquid is
absorbed. Cereals and rice can both be simmered using
ExtraLow. Pasta is best cooked on the large burner.
Using High heat with a lid, bring water to a boil. Once
pasta is added, the heat may need to be turned down to
prevent boil over.
When cooking scrambled or fried eggs melt butter on
Medium High, and then add eggs to cook to desirable
doneness. You can find the ideal settings for several of
these dishes in the Standard Burner and ExtraLow
Cooking Tables.
Meat, Fish and Poultry
In the Standard Burner and ExtraLow® Cooking Tables,
the ideal heating setting for any meat, fish or poultry can
be found. The cooking time depends on the amount,
composition and temperature of the food. Setting ranges
are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values
at first or increase the temperatures throughout cooking.
Below are a few recommendations when cooking meat,
fish and poultry on the cooktop:
▯ Meats are best cooked on the large burner.
▯ It is recommended to use a preheated skillet when
pan frying meats.
▯ Cook bacon and sausage patties on Medium High
until meat starts to sizzle, and then turn heat down to
Medium.
▯ Simmering: Bring liquid to a boil on High, and then
simmer covered on Medium Low to Low (or
ExtraLow®) until meat is tender.
▯ Braising: Brown meat on Medium High, and then
simmer covered on Medium Low to Low (or
ExtraLow®) until meat is tender.
▯ Poaching: Bring liquid to a boil on High heat, and then
simmer covered on Low or ExtraLow until meat is
cooked through.
Desserts
Chocolate is best melted using ExtraLow® (see
ExtraLow® Cooking Table for appropriate setting). If the
cooktop does not have ExtraLow®, chocolate should be
melted using a double boiler on the small burner.
Standard Burner Cooking
The table lists the optimal heating setting for various dishes. The temperature and cooking time depend on the
amount, composition and temperature of the food. Setting ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower
values at first. During cooking heat may be increased.
