CHOICE OF THE BURNER
The suitable burner must be chosen according to the diameter and the
capacity used. As an indication, the burners and the pots must be used in
the following way:
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED ON THE BURNERS
BURNERS
MINIMUM
MAXIMUM
70mm and 90mmBurner 6cm 22cm
do not use pans with concave or convex bases
It is important that the diameter of the pot be suitable to the potentiality of
the burner so as not to compromise the high output of the burners and
therefore energy waste.
A small pot on a large burner does not give you a boiling point in a shorter
amount of time since the capacity of heat absorption of a liquid mass
depends on the volume and the surface of the pot.
