Hob guidelines
o
The first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated use.
o
The worktop is fitted with cooking areas of different diameter and
power.
o
The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked on
the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on these
zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the same
diameter as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
o
You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can scratch
the ceramic surface.
o
Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are clean
and dry.
o
When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as they
expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This will allow
the heat to transfer more easily.
o
The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2
–
3 mm of
enamelled steel and 4
–
6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich type
bottoms.
