Harness Residual Heat According to the Manual

Many cooktops and ovens stay hot for a few minutes after being turned off. This residual heat can be utilized for some preparations, but not all, and not with all appliances.

How to Use It

In some cases, you can turn off the appliance a little before the end and let the preparation finish cooking with that heat. This usually works best with:

• Pasta or rice that is almost ready and covered.
• Stews that only need to rest.
• Some oven preparations that finish cooking with the door closed.

It Depends on the Appliance

Not all cooktops retain heat the same way. Induction cooktops, for example, cool down faster than traditional ceramic glass cooktops. Check your manufacturer's manual and look for your cooktop's residual heat indicator, if it has one.

Safety First

• Always ensure food is thoroughly cooked, especially meats, fish, and eggs.
• Remember that the surface remains hot even after being turned off: be careful when touching it, especially if there are children at home.
• Do not leave plastic containers or cloths on a newly turned-off cooktop.
