In order to save both time and energy
the bottom of a pan or frying-pan
• must cover the zone completely. But
if the bottom is too small, then boil-
over can easily stick to the plate.
• must be smooth or finely patterned.
• must be absolutely flat. If the bottom
bulges too much outwards or
inwards, heating-up times become
longer.
When you buy a new pot or pan, it is
advisable to choose a stainless steel model
with a sandwich bottom, that is to say a
bottom with layers of different metals.
Certain pans are concave when cold but
become flat when they are heated up.
Save energy!
• Use a lid and you halve the energy
requirements (compared with cooking
without a lid).
• Use pans with flat bottoms and save
25% energy (compared with uneven
bottoms).
• Make sure that the ceramic glass
plate is clean and dry. Dirt and
liquids impair heat transfer between
the pan and the heating zone.
• Switch off the heating zone and let
the food finish cooking on the
residual heat.
• Steaming and pressure cooking also
save energy.
