USING SUITABLE COOKWARE
Better pans produce better results.
•
You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base
should be as thick and flat as possible.
•
When buying new pans, pay particular attention to the
diameter of the base. Manufacturers often give only the
diameter of the upper rim.
•
Do not use pans which have damaged bases with rough
edges or burrs. Permanent scratching can occur if these
pans are slid across the surface.
•
When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly
inwards (concave). They should never be bowed
outwards (convex).
•
If you wish to use a special type of pan, for example,
a pressure cooker, a simmering pan, or a wok, please
observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
Energy saving tips
You can save valuable energy by observing the
following points.
•
Always position pots and
pans before switching on the
cooking zone.
•
Dirty cooking zones and
pan bases increase power
consumption.
•
When possible, position the
lids firmly on the pots and
pans to cover completely.
•
Switch the cooking zones
off before the end of the
cooking time to use the
residual heat for keeping
foods warm or for thawing.
