USING SUITABLE COOKWARE
Better pans produce better results.
•
You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should
be as thick and flat as possible.
•
When buying new pans, pay particular attention to the diameter
of the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the
upper rim.
•
Do not use pans which have damaged bases with rough edges
or burrs. Permanent scratching can occur if these pans are slid
across the surface.
•
When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards
(concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex).
•
If you wish to use a special type of pan, for example, a pressure
cooker, a simmering pan, or a wok, please observe the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Energy saving tips
You can save valuable energy by observing the following
points.
•
Always position pots and pans
before switching on the cooking
zone.
•
Dirty cooking zones and
pan bases increase power
consumption.
•
When possible, position the lids
firmly on the pots and pans to
cover completely.
•
Switch the cooking zones off
before the end of the cooking
time to use the residual heat
for keeping foods warm or for
thawing.
