Uses, Tables and Tips
Pans
The better the pan, the better the results.
• You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as thick
and flat as possible.
• Pay particular attention when buying new pans to the diameter of the
base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.
• Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouring on
the glass ceramic surface, which is very difficult or impossible to re−
move.
• Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged
base. This can produce permanent scratching if the pan is slid across the
surface.
• When cold, pan bases are normally
bowed slightly inwards (concave).
They should never be
bowed outwards (convex).
• If you wish to use special types of
pan (e.g. a pressure cooker, simmering
pan, wok, etc.), please observe
the manufacturer’s instructions.
Energy saving tips
You can save valuable energy by observing the following points:
• Always position pots and pans before
switching on the cooking zone.
• Dirty cooking zones and pan bases
increase power consumption.
• Whenever possible always position
the lids firmly on pots and
pans to cover completely.
