Using and caring for the hob

If the cookware is suitable, the heat setting
will be displayed instead.
If possible, only use thick-bottomed cookware
or energy- and time-saving pressure cookers.
The relatively high purchase costs are quickly
recouped.
You should not use:
– dented or bulging pots,
– pots with a rough base,
– pans with a rounded base,
– coated cookware that is scratched inside,
– too large or too small cookware.
Tips for saving energy
– When cooking, always leave the lid on the
saucepan wherever possible. Liquids can
be brought to the boil more quickly with the
lid on than without.
– Only ever use high-quality, new saucepans
and pans. They lie flat on the solid plate
and therefore conduct energy more easi-
ly than cookware with a warped or dented
base.
– Turn the heat level down in time and con-
tinue to cook at the lowest possible setting.
– Always use pressure cooking saucepans
whenever possible. This will halve the
cooking process and you will save a lot of
energy.
– Only use as much water as you really need
to cook the food. A lot of energy is required
to warm up water.
