Which are the best pots and pans?
You can save time and power by choosing the best pans.
Use pots and pans with flat, smooth bottoms.
Uneven pan bottoms prolong the boost times at the start of cooking and in-
crease the power requirement. Rough pan bottoms scratch the glass-cera-
mic cooking area when shifted about. When using fireproof glass or
porcelain cookware, please follow the manufacturer‘s instructions.
Choose a pan with a diameter at least as large as the cooking area.
You will thus save power and cooking time and at the same time avoid an
overheating of the cooking area.
Wherever possible, always place a lid on the pan.
You will save a lot of energy by cooking in a closed pan. Liquids and foods
will only boil over if the temperature is too high. For the cooking zones, you
can precisely set the temperature required. With a little practice, you will
readily make the correct choice of cooking settings so that nothing boils
over even when a lid is in place.
Cleaning and care
Clean the cooking surface after every
use.
Never use sharp or abrasive agents!
Clean with a damp cloth and a little
washing-up liquid after each use. Wipe
dry. For most soiling, that is sufficient.
Remove incrustations and boiled over
food from the glass ceramic cooking
area with a grass scraper. Remove su-
gar and melted plastic immediately while
the cooking area is still hot.
You can treat stubborn stains with a
commercially available cleaner. Then li-
berally wash with water, and wipe dry
with a cloth.
Care for your glass-ceramic cooking area once a week.
Regular care builds up a protective layer and also eases day to day clea-
ning. Please follow the instructions of the cleaner or cleanser manufactu-
rer concerned.
