Function Description of function
Simmering
Automatically identifies a power level that is suitable for simmering long-cooking recipes. Suitable for cooking tomato sauce, ragu,
soups, minestrone, maintaining a controlled cooking level (ideal for cooking in a bain-marie). Prevents food from boiling over (e.g.
spurting) or sticking to the bottom and burning, as often happens with these recipes. Use this function after bringing the pot to the
boil.
Melting
Automatically identifies a power level that is suitable for slowly melting delicate products without compromising their sensorial
quality (chocolate, butter, etc.).
6th Sense
Sixth sense
bringing water to
the boil
Automatically identifies when water reaches boiling point and reduces the power to maintain the boil until the food is added. When
the water reaches boiling point an acoustic signal is emitted, and any ingredients can be added (e.g. condiments, pasta, rice,
vegetables, meat and fish to be boiled) but also homemade preserves or accessories to be sterilized.
Flexi cook
This function combines two cooking zones and allows you to exploit the combined surface area for large rectangular or oval shaped
cooking receptacles or grilles. For grilling large quantities or pieces of food (fish, kebabs, vegetables like red chicory, steaks, German
sausages).
For cooking recipes like rolled roast joints or whole fish, generally accompanied with a sauce or stock, using a casserole dish/fish
kettle/pan
