Using The Hob
Choosing Your Utensils
Any type of flat based kettle or pan from 100mm (4in.) to 230mm (9in.) base
diameter may be used. Do not use pans which are unstable when placed on a
flat work-top. The use of split pans, i.e. those comprising two or more pans
designed to fit together over a single burner, is not recommended as these can
be unstable on the hotplate. Asbestos mats should not be used on the pan
supports because they may impede burner performance or damage the pan
support.
In order to get best value out of your hob, the following economy tip is
recommended. Choose the correct burner for the size of pan.
Energy Saving Tips
1
Do use saucepans with lids
2
Place pans centrally over burner.
3
Do not allow flames to lick up the sides of the pan.
4
Only fill kettles or pans with the amount of liquid needed.
5
Turn down the gas as soon as the contents of the pan boil.
6
Do not light the burner until the pan is in position and turn off before
removing the pan.
7
Cut vegetables into smaller pieces so that they cook quicker and cook more
than one vegetable in the same pan, e.g. carrots and potatoes.
8
In hard water areas descale kettles regularly.
9
Consider using a pressure cooker.
