It is very important that the pans used on the hobs are made of a suitable material and
have the correct base as follows:
✓
The base should be flat and smooth.
Any rough part on the pan base could scratch the hob surface.
✓
Choose pans which are the same size as the cooking zone and with bases that are as
non reflective as possible. eg. dull and dark.
✓
Only pans recommended for use on ceramic hobs should be used.
Pans made of the following materials can cause problems:-
Cast Iron
– The base may be rough which will scratch the hob.
Toughened – If the pan becomes too hot, the hob may overheat and reduce cooking
Glass
efficiency.
Copper
– Can easily distort and will therefore not form a good contact between base
and hob which will result in uneven cooking.
