– Check that the diameter of the pan base is wide enough
for the cooking zone so that heat is not lost unnecessarily.
Too small
Suitable
– Use a lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss.

– Select a smaller pan when cooking small quantities. A
small pan on a small cooking zone uses less energy than a
large, partially filled pan on a large cooking zone.
– Cook with as little water as possible.
– Reduce the power setting once the water has come to the
boil or the oil is hot enough to fry in.
– When cooking for a long time, switch the cooking zone off
about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
In this way, use is made of the residual heat.
– Cooking times can be significantly reduced with a
pressure cooker.
