Cookware Guidelines
To get the best out of your hob, follow these simple suggestions:
• Use saucepans with thick flat bottoms. Food in a saucepan with an uneven bottom will take longer
to cook.
• Do not use large saucepans or frying pans that overlap the edges of your hob as this can deflect
heat onto your worktop and damage the surface, and may also cause a hazard.
• Always make sure saucepans are stable. Using very heavy saucepans may bend the trivet/pan
support or deflect the flame.
• Always lift the cookware when removing from the hob, do not drag.
• When you need to boil, simmer or fry food, first set the temperature to the High position.
Once the food is boiling, reduce the temperature to maintain a steady heat to cook your food
thoroughly. Doing this will reduce the cooking time and save energy.
• Pan sizes should be as per the table shown below.
Burners Minimum Diameter Maximum Diameter
Extra Large 24 cm 26 cm
Large 20 cm 22 cm
Standard 16 cm 18 cm
Small 10 cm 14 cm
Do not use cooking vessels on the hob
that overlap its edges.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy.
• Choose cookware of the proper size, material and construction.
• Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
• Select the proper temperature setting for the cooking task.
Avoid using pans of the maximum diameter on both the large and extra large burners
together as these sizes will not allow the pans to sit centrally above the gas flame.
