HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Cookware
• The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.
Energy saving
• If possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a solid hotplate before you start it.
• Stop the solid hotplate before the end of the cooking time to use residual heat.
• For satisfactory results, the bottom of pans must have the same dimensions (or slightly
larger) as solid hotplates. Do not use smaller pans.
