Cooking with the electrical hot plate
To get the best results from your appliance it is important to observe the following :
• Use thick, flat-based cooking vessel :
a completely flat base prevents overheating to certain parts which causes food to stick. Thick
metal allows for good heat distribution.
• Make sure that the base of the pan is dry :
this will prevent sticking to the hot plate caused by moisture.
• Use pans with a diameter large enough to completely cover the hot plate,
otherwise energy will be wasted and any spillages will cause the hot plate to become stained
and will become difficult to maintain (rust, etc.).
• Never leave a hot plate switched on without a pan on it : it can be damaged, which
would reduce its efficiency.
• When cooking with fat or oil, never leave the hob unattented, very hot fats and
oils can quickly catch fire.
• When the hot plate is hot, avoid any contact with materials made of plastic or aluminium
foil.
Caution :
the heating surfaces clearly get hot while operating, so make sure that small
children are kept well away from the hob.
