Optimal use of the hob

Always ensure that the flames remain below the pan. If flames play around

the pan, a lot of energy is lost. In addition, the handles can get too hot.
Do not use pans with a base diameter less than 12 cm. Smaller pans will not

be stable.
When frying, stir-frying, heating

through large quantities and deep-frying it is better to use the strong or wok
burner. Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the
simmer burner. On its high setting this burner is large enough for cooking
food right through. For all other dishes use the normal burners.
Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50% energy.

Use pans with a flat, clean, dry base. Pans with a flat base stand stably and

pans with a clean base transfer the heat more effectively to the food.
Wok burner
With the wok burner you can prepare dishes at a very high temperature. For
this purpose it is important:
to cut the ingredients into strips, slices or pieces before cooking;

to use good-quality oil, such as olive, maize, sunflower or peanut oil when

stir-frying. A small quantity is enough. Butter and margarine on the other
hand will burn because of the high heat;
to place the dishes with the longest cooking time in the pan first, so that at the

end of the cooking time all ingredients are cooked al dente at the same time.
