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
NOTE
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.
Size of pans
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the
cookware up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the
cookware must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking
zone.
