o
Use pans with a diameter as large as the zone selected. By using
a slightly wider pot, energy will be used at its maximum
efficiency. If you use a smaller pot, the efficiency of the hob
could be less than expected.
o
Pots that are less than 140 mm in diameter could be undetected
by the hob. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
o
Always lift pans off the induction hob, do not slide them as they
may scratch the glass.
Cooking tips
o
IMPORTANT: Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat
up very quickly. At very high temperatures, oil and fat will
ignite spontaneously which presents a serious fire risk.
o
When food comes to the boil, reduce the power level setting.
o
Using a lid on pans will reduce cooking times and save energy by
retaining the heat.
o
Minimise the amount of liquid or fat used to reduce cooking
times.
o
Start cooking on a high power setting and reduce the power level
when the food has heated through.
Simmering, cooking rice
o
Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85°C, when
bubbles are just rising occasionally to the surface of the cooking
liquid.
o
This process is the key to delicious soups and tender stews
because the flavours develop without overcooking the food.
