Protecting the environment

Energy-saving advice

▯
Always place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with
an uncovered pan will result in a four-fold increase
in energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility
and avoid having to lift the lid.
▯
Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom.
Curved pan bases increase energy consumption.
▯
The diameter of the pan base must match the size
of the element. If not, energy may be wasted. Note:
The manufacturer normally indicates the pan's
upper diameter. This is normally greater than the
diameter of the pan's base.
▯
Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of
food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only
half full will use a lot of energy.
▯
Use a small amount of water when cooking. This
saves energy, and vegetables retain a larger
percentage of their vitamins and minerals.
▯
Select a lower power level.

Cooking with Induction

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking is very different from traditional
cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item
of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
▯
Saves time when boiling and frying.
▯
Saves energy.
▯
Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
▯
Controlled supply of heat and increased safety. The
element generates or interrupts the supply of heat
immediately after each use. The element interrupts
the heat supply immediately if the cookware is
removed from the element, even if the element is
still switched on.

Cookware

Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,
such as:
▯
Cookware made from enameled steel
▯
Cookware made from cast iron
▯
Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
To check whether your cookware is suitable for
induction cooking, refer to the section on
~ "Suitability test of cookware".
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic
area on the base of the pan should match the size of the
element. If a element does not detect an item of
cookware, try placing it on another element with a
smaller diameter.
If the only element being used is the flexible cooking
zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this
zone can be used. You can read more information on the
positioning of the cookware here ~ "Flex function"
