The worktop is fitted with cooking areas of different diameter
and power.
The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly
marked o n th e h ob top. T he sa ucepans must b e p ositioned
exactly on these zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans
should have the same diameter as the cooking zone that they
are being used on.
You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can
scratch the ceramic surface.
Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are
clean and dry.
When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave,
as they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the
hob. This will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
The b est t hickness f or t he b ottom o f t he p ans i s 2 – 3 mm o f
enameled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich
type bottoms.
If these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of
heat an d energy. He at n ot ab sorbed b y th e sau cepan, will
spread to the hob, frame and surrounding cabinets.
Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower
heat.
Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to
reduce cooking times.
