Table of cooking times
The following table provides some examples.
Cooking times and heat settings may vary depending
on the type of food, its weight and quality. Deviations
are therefore possible.
For bringing liquids to the boil, use heat setting 9.
Stir thick liquids occasionally.
Food that needs to be seared quickly or food which
loses a lot of liquid during initial frying is best seared in
several small portions.
