General - the correct pans
Good pans ■ For best results use good quality pans with smooth tlat
for better bases.
results ■ The pan base should be thick and flat; Pans with uneven, dis­
torted or rough bases {e, g,, cast iron) should not be used as
they extend the cooking times and may cause damage to the
cooking plates.
a Cooking plates and pan base should be of the same or similar
diameter. The pan should be placed centrally on the cooking
plate.
■ Cooking plates and pan base must be dean to prevent dam­
age to the hob and waste of energy.
■ Shiny and copper based pans are unsuitable for use on halo­
gen cooking plates. These pans may also damage the decor
on normal ceramic hobs so do avoid using such pans on a ce­
ramic hob. Copper base saucepans are also unsuitable, they
will damage the hob surface.
a Follow also the recommendations o1 the saucepan manufac­
turer.
Make use of the residual heat - switch the plates off 5-10 minutes
before the end of the cooking time.
You are wasting energy and prolonging the cooking times if:
Pan too Lid not Uneven pan Pan too large
smalt closed base (ceramic)
