Choice of Burner
The burner must be choosen according to the diameter of the
pans and energy required. Saucepans with handles which are
excessively heavy, in relationship to the weight of the pan, are
safer as they are less likely to tip. Pans which are positioned
centrally on burners are more stable than those which are of-
fset.
It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that
they cannot be accidentally knocked.
When deep fat frying fill the pan only one third full of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan
unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off all controls. Place a damp cloth or cor-
rect fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames.
DO NOT use water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.
Do not use pans with concave or convex bases
