Tips On Saving Energy - Miele KM 6520 FR Operating And Installation Instructions

- Check that the diameter of the pan
base is wide enough for the cooking
zone so that heat is not lost
unnecessarily.
- Use a pan lid whenever possible to
minimize heat loss.
- Select a smaller pan when cooking
small quantities. A small pan on a
small cooking zone uses less energy
than a large, partially filled pan on a
large cooking zone.
- Cook with as little water as possible.
- Once food has come to the boil or
the oil in the pan is hot enough for
frying, reduce the heat to a lower
setting.
- When cooking for a long time, switch
the cooking zone off about 5 to
10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time. In this way, use is
made of the residual heat.
- Use a pressure cooker to reduce
cooking times.
