q We recommend that you use saucepans and
frying pans with thick flat bases. Uneven bases
increase cooking times.
q Always select a saucepan that is the right size for
the food to be cooked. A large saucepan that is
only half filled will consume more energy.
q Saucepans and frying pans should always be
covered by a matching lid.
q Using a saucepan base that is the same size as
the hotplate ensures the optimum transfer of heat.
When purchasing saucepans, check that the
manufacturer frequently specifies the top diameter
of the pan rim. Generally, this value is greater than
the diameter of the pan base.
q Switch back to a lower heat setting at the
appropriate time.
Scratches caused by salt,
sugar, sand or rough pan bases
Decor rubbed off due to use
of an unsuitable cleaning
agent.
