• Always use the cover corresponding to each pot. When cooking without a lid, the energy
consumption is somewhat greater.
• Use a glass lid to see inside without having to lift it.
• Use containers flatbed. If the base is not flat, the energy consumption is greater.
• The diameter of the base of the container must match the size of the cooking zone.
Warning: the vessels manufacturers indicate, generally, the upper diameter of the container,
which is often greater than the diameter of the base of the receptacle.
• For small amounts, use small pans. A large bowl and filled just needs a lot of energy.
• For cooking, use a little water. Thus, it saves energy and preserves all the vitamins and
minerals in vegetables.
• Select the lowest power level needed for cooking. Too high is a waste of energy.
