Advice on saving energy
Use a pan with thick flat base. Curved bases
increase energy consumption.
Place a ruler on the base of the pan, if there are
no gaps, the base of the pan is completely flat.
The diameter of the base of the pan should
fit the size of the hotplate.
Check if the manufacturer has indicated the
upper diameter of the pan. In general, this is greater than the diameter of the
base of the pan.
If the diameter of the pan does not fit the diameter of the hotplate, you are
recommended to use a pan which is larger than the size of the hotplate, or
else about half the energy will be lost.
Choose pans which are the right size for the amount of food to be
prepared. A large pan which is half full will consume a lot of energy.
Always centre the pan on the hotplate and always cover the pan with the
matching lid. Cooking without using the lid quadruples energy consumption.
Cook using small amounts of water. This will save energy and will also
help green vegetables retain their vitamins and minerals.
During their cooking, food such as stews, soups may heat up too quickly
without any indication, spilling out of the cookware.
It is therefore advisable to heat this type of food gently, selecting a
suitable power level and stirring the contents before and during cooking. We
recommend not to use for Induction hob pots that have been used in a gas
hob fire can deform the flatness of bottom). In case of use, check that bottom
is flat.
