¡ Select heat level 8 or 9 for bringing to a boil or initial fry-

¡ 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.

¡ When you cook with a lid on, turn the heat setting down

as soon as steam escapes between lid and cookware.

¡ Keep the lid on the cookware after cooking until you

serve the food.

¡ When you cook with a pressure cooker, observe the

manufacturer's instructions.

other.
