Environmental protection
Tips for saving energy
▯
Use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Uneven
bottoms increase energy consumption.
▯
For small amounts, use a small pot. A large pot
that isn't very full requires a lot of energy.
▯
Always cover pots with a lid that fits. When
cooking without a lid, you need four times more
energy.
▯
Cook with little water. This saves energy. The
vitamins and minerals in vegetables are
preserved.
▯
Switch promptly back to a lower setting for
cooking.
Cooking by induction
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking represents a radical change from
the traditional method of heating; the heat is
generated directly in the pan. It therefore offers a
number of advantages:
▯
Greater speed in cooking and frying; as the pan is
heated directly.
▯
Energy is saved.
▯
Greater convenience in care and cleaning. Foods
that have spilled on the cooktop surface do not
burn as quickly.
▯
Heat and safety control; the cooktop supplies or
cuts off power immediately when the controls are
set. The induction cooktop stops supplying heat if
the pan is removed without turning off the power
first.
Proper cookware
Ferromagnetic pans
Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction
cooking, these can be made from:
▯
enamelled steel
▯
cast iron
▯
special stainless steel utensils for induction
cooking
Check that the bases of your pans are attracted by a
magnet to find out if they are suitable.
