You may be miles away, but your meal will be perfectly cooked. The cooking chart tells you the figure at which to set the dial, and the time for cooking. The Regulo" does the reat, and does it perfectly. If you make no mistake in preparing the food, nothing can prevent perfect reaults. The "Now World” is AUTOMATIC. There is no guessing the heat.
