4 Comfortable cooking
Optimal use of the hob
Always ensure that the fl ames remain below the pan. If fl ames
play around the pan, a lot of energy is lost. In addition, the
handles can get too hot. Do not use pans with a base diameter
less than 12 cm. Smaller pans will not be stable.
•
When frying, stir-frying, heating through large quantities and deepfrying it is best to
use the rapid burner.
•
Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the simmer burner. On
its high setting this burner is large enough for cooking food right through.
•
Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50% energy.
•
Use pans with a fl at, clean, dry base. Pans with a fl at base stand stably and pans with
a clean base transfer the heat more effectively to the food.
