EnergyConsewationTips
1. Use cooking utensils of medium weight aluminum, tight-fitting covers, and flat bottoms which
completely cover the heated sunburst-patterned
cooking area.
2.Cook fresh vegetables with a minimum amount of
water in a covered pan.
3. “Keep an eye” on foods when bringing them
quickly to cooking temperatures at HIGH heat.
When food reaches cooking temperature, redllce
heat immediately to lowest setting that will keep it
cooking.
4. Use residual heat with surface cooking whenever
possible. For example, when cocking eggs in the
she!! bring water to boil, then turn to OFF position
to complete the cooking.
5. Always turn surface unit OFF before removing
utensil.
6, LJsecorrect heat for each cooking task, , .HIGH
heats to start cooking, (if time allows, do not use
HIGH heat to start) MEDIUM HIGH—quick brownings, MEDIUM—SIOW frying, LOW—finish cooking
most quantities, WARM-double boiler heat, finish
cooking, and special for small quantities,
7. When boiling water for tea or coffee, heat only
the amount needed. It is not economical to boil a
container full of water for only one or two cups.
