Pans
• The best thickness for the base of the pan is:
▷ 4-6 mm for stainless steel pans.
▷ 2-3 mm. for steel-enamel pans.
• Do not use pans that are smaller than the hotplate. This will prevent food remains ending up
on the hotplate. Burnt-on food remains are difficult to remove. In addition, the handles may
become too hot and a lot of energy is lost.
• The base of the cold pan should be somewhat concave, as it will expand upon heating thus
making better contact with the hotplate. This will enable optimal heat transfer.
• Pans which have previously been used on gas hobs are no longer suitable for electric
cooking. Make sure that both the base of the pan and the hob are dry. Always use a lid
during cooking to minimise the loss of energy.
• Never leave an empty pan on a hotplate that is switched on. Do not allow the pan to boil
dry, either.
