Uses, Tables and Tips

• You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as

thick and flat as possible.

• Pay particular attention when buying new pans to the diameter of

the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper

rim.

• Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouring

on the ceramic glass surface, which is very difficult or impossible to

remove.

• Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged

base. This can produce permanent scratching if the pan is slid across

the surface.

• When cold, pan bases are normal-

ly bowed slightly inwards (con-

cave). They should never be

bowed outwards (convex).

• If you wish to use special types of

pan (e.g. a pressure cooker, sim-

mering pan, wok, etc.), please ob-

serve the manufacturer's instructions.

Energy saving tips

• Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone.

• Whenever possible always posi-

tion the lids firmly on pots and

pans to cover completely.

• Switch off the cooking zones be-

fore the end of the cooking time

to use the residual heat such as to

keep foods warm or for melting.

• The base of the pan should be the

same size as the cooking zone.
