Switch off the cooking zones before the end of cooking time to take advantage of residual heat.
Residual heat can be used for keeping food warm.
Place lids on the cookware whenever possible to minimize heat loss.
Cookware base size and cooking zone should be of same size for better heat efficiency.
Select a smaller cookware size if cooking small food quantities. A smaller pan size uses less energy than a larger
pan with small food quantities.
Lift cookware into positions on the hob. Sliding them can cause scuffs and scratches on the hob surface.
