How do I use the Aromatic lid with my WMF Fusiontec cookware?

[DiBennett]

The WMF Fusiontec Aromatic lid is designed to enhance cooking by retaining moisture and concentrating flavors. Here's a guide to using it effectively:

1. How it Works: After frying food and adding liquid (water, stock, etc.), the Aromatic lid is placed on the pot. Steam rises, condenses on the lid's underside, and drips back onto the food, ensuring gentle cooking and preserving aromas and nutrients.

2. Filling the Lid: Fill the lid with ice or cold water, no more than halfway. Recommended amounts based on lid diameter:

   • 22 cm: 150g
   • 24 cm: 200g
   • 28 cm: 250g

3. Regulating Temperature: Start cooking on a high heat setting. After adding liquid to deglaze the food, reduce the heat to a low setting to maintain an internal pot temperature around 80°C. Ensure only minimal steam escapes before sealing with the Aromatic lid.

4. Safety Advice:

   • Place the lid on a stable surface due to its weight.
   • Lift the lid carefully to avoid spills and burns from hot water.
   • Reduce cooking heat to prevent high water temperatures in the lid.
   • Use pan holders when handling the hot lid.
   • Avoid opening the lid during cooking.
   • Keep children and untrained individuals away while cooking. By following these guidelines, you can maximize the benefits of the WMF Fusiontec Aromatic lid and enhance your cooking.
