8 Important information on the recipes About the cooking durations • If a period of time is specified in a recipe, then this either refers to the degree of doneness or the condition of the food. Choose shorter durations for smaller pieces or a more al dente result and longer times for larger pieces or a softer result. • The median programme duration is specified for the Automatic programmes (function depends on model). However, the actual duration of many programmes will depend on how well done you want the food to be. Simply select the setting you want before starting the Automatic programme. About ingredients • If an ingredient is followed by a comma (,), the subsequent section of text is a description of that ingredient. In most cases, the ingredient in question can be bought in the condition described. E.g. eggs, medium; milk, 3.5% fat. • If a vertical line (|) is shown after a single ingredient, the description refers to how the food is handled or processed, which is generally carried out by the person doing the cooking. This processing step will then not be mentioned in the preparation text. E.g. Cheese, aromatic | grated; Onions | finely diced; Milk, 3.5% fat | lukewarm • Unless stated otherwise, the weight indicated for meat is the trimmed, uncooked weight. • The weight information for fruit and vegetables always refers to the unpeeled weight. • Even if the instructions do not explicitly tell you to do so, all fruit and vegetables must be rinsed or washed and peeled, if necessary, prior to chopping.
