Frequently Asked Questions - Ze-Aroma Plus Z-ATC Zepter

How does the Zepter Analog Thermocontrol work without added water?

Place freshly rinsed food in a cold pot, cover, and heat on medium-high. When the arrow reaches the middle of the green zone on the moist scale, reduce heat to minimum. The food cooks in its own juice using the Closed Circle process where steam condenses and drips back onto the food.

How do I use the thermometer for frying without added fats?

Preheat the empty covered pot on maximum heat for up to 5 minutes. When the arrow reaches the middle of the green zone on the dry scale (or water drops dance on the surface), add meat. Sear each side for 30-60 seconds, then reduce heat to minimum and cook until done.

What do the colors on the scale mean?

The scales have three colored fields: yellow for preheating, green for cooking, and red for overheating. The moist scale is used for waterless cooking, the dry scale for frying.

Can I use the Z-ATC thermometer with any pot lid?

No, it is designed specifically for lids from the Zepter Z Masterpiece CookART Line. It screws directly onto the lid.

Is the thermometer dishwasher safe?

Yes, you can clean the Zepter Analog Thermocontrol in the dishwasher. Alternatively, wipe it with a soft cloth or wash under running water.

What is the temperature range of the device?

The operating temperature range is +20°C to +85°C. It should be stored between -10°C and +45°C. Do not expose it directly to temperatures above 100°C.

Can children use this thermometer?

No, the device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced capabilities or lack of experience. Keep out of reach of children.

What should I do if the thermometer is damaged?

Do not use a damaged or defective device. Contact a Zepter authorized service center for repairs. Unauthorized repairs may cause injury and void warranty.

Can I put the thermometer in the oven or microwave?

No, do not place the Zepter Analog Thermocontrol in the oven or microwave. It is only designed for use on stovetop pots with lids.

How do I know when the pot is properly preheated for frying?

The arrow should reach halfway into the green field on the dry scale. Alternatively, a few drops of water should whirl on the surface (pearl effect). Preheating takes up to 5 minutes on maximum heat.

USER INTERFACE (Image Ⅱ)

The user interface of the Zepter Analog Thermocontrol consists of the following elements: A Moist scale B Dry scale C Temperature Arrow D Temperature Arrow window

TEMPERATURE SCALES (Image Ⅲ)

There are two different temperature scales, both having three colored fields (yellow, green, red): the external scale shows the temperature ranges of Moist cooking, and the internal scale shows the temperature ranges of Dry cooking. The colors on the temperature scales indicate three stages of the cooking process:

1. Yellow area (III) - preheating
2. Green area "111" - cooking
3. Red area 1111 - overheating

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Zepter Analog Thermocontrol is a device that allows you to prepare healthy food the proper way at the correct temperature and to control the cooking process without lifting the lid. The Closed Circle process goes on undisturbed. The food cooks in its own juice at low temperature, retaining its nutritive and biological values and saving up to 70% of energy and up to 30% of food.

The Zepter Analog Thermocontrol guarantees the maximum precision and reliability in the temperature reading, enabling higher control of the cooking process.

HOW IT WORKS

COOKING WITHOUT ADDED WATER

• When cooking without added water, always place freshly rinsed food in the cold pot, either leaving it 14 empty or filling it to 3 cm min, from the edge, and cover.
• Place the covered pot on the cold stove and turn on the heat source (medium to high).
• When the Zepter Thermocontrol arrow reaches the halfway point of the green field on the moist scale, turn the heat down to the minimum.
• Food is cooked in its own juice, which remains in the pot.
• The steam, released by the food inside the pot, rises to the top. As the lid is cooler than the rest of the pot, the steam condenses upon contact with it. The nutritional liquid then drips down to the bottom and onto the food. This process goes on until the food is perfectly cooked (Closed Circle).
• A water seal formed between the edge of the pot and the lid hermetically closes the pot.
  • Cooking is completed in approx. 20 minutes.

FRYING WITHOUT ADDED FATS

• When frying without added fats, always place the meat in a pre-heated pot.
• Place the empty covered pot on the stove and switch it on to the maximum temperature for up to 5 minutes.
• The pot is ready for frying once the Zepter Thermocontrol arrow has reached the halfway point of the green field on the dry scale, or when, upon throwing a few drops of water into the pan, they whirl around the bottom ("pearl effect"), after 5 minutes maximum.
  • Always place the meat in the already heated empty pot and press the meat down to sear it.
• After 30-60 seconds, turn the fried meat over and press again, then leave it to cook, until ready.
• Turn the heat down to the minimum, turn off or remove the pot from the heat source.
• Use the lid depending on the frying method used.
  • The frying process is completed in approx. 10 minutes.
