4.3 Saving of energy
❖
Use proper cookware for cooking.
❖
Cookware with thick, flat bases can save up to1/3 of electric energy. Remember
to cover your cookware if possible; otherwise you will use four times as much
energy!
❖
Match the size of the cookware to the surface of the heating plate. A cookware
should never be smaller than a heating plate.
❖
Ensure that the heating plates and the cookware are clean.
❖
Soils prevent heat-transfer. Repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often be removed
by products, which will damage the environment, only.
❖
Do not uncover the cookware too often (a watched pot-content will never boil!).
❖
You can use the
residual heat
for saving energy when starting a new cooking
procedure on a cooking zone which is still warm / hot.
