Tips on cooking and frying
Information about acrylamides
According to the latest scientific re-
search, intensive browning of food,
especially in products containing
starch, may present a health risk
due to acrylamide. Therefore we
recommend cooking at low temperatures and not browning foods too
much.
Cookware
• You can recognise good cookware
from the bottoms of the pans. The
bottom should be as thick and flat as
possible.
• Cookware made of enamelled steel
or with aluminium or copper bottoms
can leave discolourations on the ceramic glass surface which are difficult or impossible to remove.
