What is automatic boiling on hobs?

Modern hobs are equipped with many functionalities and provide housewives with significant opportunities for quick and high-quality preparation of dishes. Housewives can choose models based on the design, the required set of functions - from simple to high-tech, and the cost of the panels.

Types of hobs are represented by gas and electric models. Functional models will cost more, but the technical capabilities of these slabs will be much higher than simple models.

The advanced functionality of the stoves includes the following: gas control of burners, recognition of the presence and size of dishes on the stove, residual heat indicator, timer, automatic ignition of the flame, pause, safety shutdown and a number of others.

Recently, the automatic boiling function of the hob has become increasingly popular. Which is no coincidence. The use of automation greatly simplifies the cooking process. The function is an automatic cooking mode starting from the moment of boiling.

How the automatic boiling function works

In addition to the main advantages of automatic boiling of food, it can be noted that its use allows the housewife to save time required for cooking and free up time for other matters.

The principle of operation of the automatic boiling function is to use temperature sensors built into the stove, which allow you to control the temperature of the bottom of the cookware while cooking. In practice, boiling automation looks like this.

First, cooking begins with a high-temperature mode; after the dish boils, the sensors switch the power of the stove to a lower value set by the housewife, until the dish is completely cooked. Basically, in models of hobs and stoves, the automatic boiling mode is activated within 10 seconds after turning on the burner.

IMPORTANT! Using the automatic boiling function allows you to significantly save resources used in preparing a dish, such as: cooking time, energy costs, and the time the hostess spends in the kitchen.

How to set the power correctly

When using the automatic boiling function, an important question arises - how to correctly adjust the power and set the temperature so that it works correctly. The required power or degree of heating of the burner after boiling is set by the burner switch.

Since automatic boiling is usually duplicated by a timer, when selecting this mode, the indicator will display the heating stage after boiling. It should be borne in mind that this technical capability is not suitable for all dishes.

The list of dishes that can be cooked using automatic boiling can be found in the instructions for using the panel or stove. It should also be noted that the selected power after boiling directly depends on the type of dish and the size of the burner.

So, a smaller burner will require a lower power rating. An example of setting power when preparing dishes is:

• soup or boiling milk - you will need to set the power indicator at a level from 1 to 3 (usually hobs use a heating scale from 1 to 9);
• thick soups - power will be from 1 to 2;
• vegetable side dish or goulash - power will be from 1 to 2;
• fish - power will be from 4 to 5;
• roast - power will be from 4 to 5;
• frying schnitzels, cutlets - the power can be set at a level from 6 to 8;
• rice and vegetables - can be done at power from 2 to 3;
• frozen vegetables - from 4 to 5.

IMPORTANT! To correctly set the power of the burner when using the automatic boiling function, you should study the recommendations given in the instructions for the hob, and also take into account the size of the cookware and the burner.
