5.2 Cooking Guidelines
- Boiling: For boiling water or cooking noodles/ramen, set the power to 1000W for quick heating. Once boiling, you may reduce to 500W to simmer.
- Sautéing/Frying: For cooking steak or frying eggs, use the 1000W setting. Add a small amount of cooking oil if necessary. The non-stick surface ensures food does not stick.
- Soups/Oatmeal: Begin with 1000W to bring to a boil, then switch to 500W for gentle simmering until cooked to your preference.
- Capacity: The 2L capacity is designed for 1-3 people. Do not overfill the pot to prevent overflow during boiling.
