Getting used to it…
To start with, you will be surprised by the speed of the appliance. In particular,
bringing things to the boil on the higher setting is very fast. To prevent a dish
boiling over or boiling dry, the best thing is to always stay beside the hob.
In the case of induction cooking, it is only the part of the zone on which the pan
stands that is used. If you use a small pan on a large zone, the power will be
adjusted to the diameter of the pan. You achieve the best result by using a pan
that has the same dimensions as the cooking zone. The power will thus be
lower and it will take longer before the food in the pan comes to the boil. If you
use a pan with a base that is too small, the cooking zone will not switch on. The
minimum pan base diameter is 12 cm.
Setting 12, or
Only switch the hob on at setting 12, or if you want to boil water. This setting is
too high for heating butter or milk and much too high for defrosting. Consult
the cooking tables on pages 23 and 24 to help you learn the techniques.
Setting 11
Setting 11 is the grill setting. This setting is suitable for grilling meat. Setting 12
is far too fast for this; the milk constituents in the margarine burn before the
margarine has melted. Setting 11 is also the 'wok' pre-selected setting. The
'wok' indicator light comes on. This only applies to the front right cooking zone.
Other settings or cooking zones, however, may also be used. If, for example,
you have a cast-iron wok with a small base, and if space permits, the rear left
cooking zone may also be used.
