5.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.
Choose a burner roughly the same size as your pan.
Centre the cookware on the hob.
Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia-
meter as the hotplate.
Tip:
Cookware manufacturers often give the upper
diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the
base diameter.
¡
Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy.
Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
¡
Cooking without a lid consumes far more energy.
Lift the lid as infrequently as possible.
¡
When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Using a glass lid
¡
You can see into the pan through a glass lid
without having to lift it.
Use cookware suited to the quantity of food.
¡
Large items of cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up.
Cook with little water.
¡
The more water in cookware, the more energy is re-
quired to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower heat setting early on. Use a suit-
able ongoing cooking setting to continue cooking.
¡
If you continue cooking with an ongoing cooking
setting that is too high, you'll waste energy
