Protecting the environment
Energy-saving advice
▯
Place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with an
uncovered pan will result in a considerable increase
in energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility
and avoid having to lift the lid.
▯
Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom.
Curved pan bases increase energy consumption.
▯
The diameter of the pan base must match the size
of the element. Note: The manufacturer normally
indicates the pan's upper diameter. This is normally
greater than the diameter of the pan's base.
▯
Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of
food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only
half full will use a lot of energy.
▯
Use a small amount of water when cooking. This
saves energy, and vegetables retain a larger
percentage of their vitamins and minerals.
▯
Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If
the power level is too high, energy is wasted.
Cooking with Induction
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is very different from traditional
cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item
of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
▯
Saves time when boiling and frying.
▯
Saves energy.
▯
Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
▯
Heat control and safety – the cooktop increases or
decreases the heat supply as soon as the user
changes the setting. The induction element stops
the heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed
from the element, without having to switch it off
first.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,
such as:
▯
Cookware made from enameled steel
▯
Cookware made from cast iron
▯
Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
To check whether your cookware is suitable for
induction cooking, refer to the section on
~
"Suitability test of cookware"
.
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic
area on the base of the pan should match the size of the
element. If a element does not detect an item of
cookware, try placing it on another element with a
smaller diameter.
If the only element being used is the flexible cooking
zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this
zone can be used. You can read more information on the
positioning of the cookware here
