Cookware
Suitable cookware
Cookware should have a stable bottom. When heated, the base of the cookware must lie
flat on the surface of the cooking zone.
Cookware made of metal is more suitable than that made of glass or ceramic as with
metal the heat is distributed evenly quicker.
Cookware bases made of aluminium or aluminium alloys can leave stubborn marks on
the glass ceramic surface that are very difficult to remove.
Energy-efficient cooking
For maximum energy efficiency and even heat distribution note the following:
▪
The base of the cookware must be clean, dry and smooth.
▪
Centre the cookware in the middle of the cooking zone.
▪
Use a well-fitting lid.
▪
Match the diameter of the cookware to the quantity of food to be cooked.
