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 pos
-
sible .
• When buying new pans, pay particular attention to the diameter of the base. Manufactur
-
ers often give only the diameter of the upper rim .
• Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouration on the ceramic
glass surface. The discolouration is very difficult or impossible to remove.
• Do not use pans made of cast iron or which have damaged bases with rough edges or
burrs . Permanent scratching can occur if these pan 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 .
