- Select the pan to suit the size of the
burner:
large diameter = large burner
small diameter = small burner.
- Observe the dimensions given in the
chart. Using pans that are too large
can cause the flames to spread out
and damage the surrounding worktop
or other appliances. Using pans of
the correct size improves efficiency.
Pans that are smaller than the pot
rests and pans that do not stand
safely (without wobbling) on the pot
rests are dangerous and should not
be used.
- In contrast to pans for use on electric
hobs, the bases of pans for use on
gas hobs do not need to be flat to
achieve good results.
- Remember when purchasing new
pans that manufacturers usually refer
to the diameter at the top of the pan
in their documentation, and not to the
base diameter.
- You can use any cookware that is
heat-resistant.
- Cookware with a thick base is
preferable as the heat is distributed
evenly. With thinner based cookware,
there is the risk that food will
overheat in places. Therefore it
should be stirred more frequently.
- Always place the cookware on the
pot rests supplied. Do not place
cookware directly on the burners.
- Place the cookware on the pot rests
in such a way that it cannot tip over.
A minor wobble can never be
completely excluded.
- Do not use pots or pans with an
edge-supported base.
