COOKING GUIDELINES AND COOKWARE
Cooking guidelines
IMPORTANT!
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and
●
greasy spills that may ignite.
Take care when deep-frying: oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high
●
setting.
Using a lid will reduce cooking times through retaining the heat.
●
Minimise the amount of liquid to reduce cooking times.
●
Cookware
Use saucepans with thick flat bases.
●
Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench, as this can deflect heat
●
onto your countertop and damage its surface.
Always make sure saucepans are stable by centring them over the burner.
●
Make sure the size of the pan matches the size of the burner. A small pot on a large
●
burner is not efficient.The following table shows the minimum and maximum saucepan
base diameters that may be used on each burner:
