Pans made of glass, ceramic or stoneware are less suitable, as they do not con-
duct the heat so well.
Dishes or containers made from plastic or aluminium foil must not be used as
these melt at high temperatures.
– Aluminium pans or pans with an aluminium base can cause metallic, shiny
marks to appear on the ceramic surface. These marks can be removed using a
ceramic hob cleaner.
– Do not use pots and pans on the hob with bases with pronounced edges or
ridges.
These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently.
– Lift pans into position on the hob. Sliding them into place can cause scuffs and
scratches.
– Often the maximum diameter quoted by manufacturer refers to the diameter of
the top rim of the pot or pan. The diameter of the base (generally smaller) is more
important.
Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss.
