For best results and energy saving, only use containers suitable for electric
cooking:
- The bases of containers must be very thick, perfectly flat and clean and dry.
The hob must also be clean and dry.
- Do not use cast iron saucepans or saucepans with a rough base, as they
may scratch the cooking surface.
- The diameter of the base of the saucepans must be equal to the diameter of
the circle outlining the cooking zone. If not, energy will be wasted.
