* Ongoing cooking without lid
** without lid
Use pans and saucepans with thick, flat bases. An uneven base increases cooking
time.
Choose the correct pan size for each element. The diameter of the pan or saucepan
base should correspond to the size of the element.
Note: Cookware manufacturers often give the diameter across the top of the pan.
This is usually larger than the diameter of the base.
Use a small pan for small quantities.
Always cover the pan with a lid that fits. Food cooks faster when you use the lid.
Boil foods with a small quantity of water. Vegetables retain their vitamins and
minerals.
Switch to a lower temperature as early as possible.
Cooked food can be kept warm on the element for 5 to 10 minutes after the
element is turned off.
As long as the hot surface indicator H is lit, you can use the element for warming and
melting without turning it back on.
