Using the. hotplates

The correct utensils

Always use pans with a flat base. Uneven pots

and pans do not absorb the heat from the

cooking zone properly, thus prolonging cook

ing times and causing permanent discoloura

tion of the hob. For the same reason you

should not use pans which are too small, but

ones which are the same size as the cooking

zone.

Always make sure the pan is placed on top of

the cooking zone marks.

Do not put wet pans or steaming lids on cook

ing zones that are not in use. Water and steam

inevitably produce calcareous deposits.

This is the correct pan. It has a thick, flat base

which efficiently absorbs heat from the cooking

zone and therefore protects it from overheating.

It is larger than the cooking zone and protects

it, like an umbreiia, from spiliage.

This pan is too small and wastes heat.

Moreover, any spillage burns on the hob

surface and is then very difficuit to remove.

Never use pans with a thin, distorted base.

They cause the cooking zone to overheat.

The ideal pans have thick, fiat bottomed bases.

The more suitable the utensil the more satis

factory the resuits wiil be. It is faise economy to

buy cheap utensiis. Good quaiity utensils save

power as they permit lower settings.

The important consideration in the quality of

the pan in relation to hotpiates is the pan base

and not - as is frequently assumed - the

material from which the pan is made. The pan

base should be as thick and as flat as

possible. Ideal are sandwich bases (tripie

layer) which conduct the heat best.

Additional information concerning the

Halogen hotplates

When using the Halogen plates avoid pans

with shiny bases as they reflect the heat. This

wili resuit in the plate cycling on and off fairiy

frequently, extending cooking times.

Hints for cooking on the hotplates

■ The ceramic glass is extremeiy resistant

and strong, capable of withstanding iight or

moderate impacts without damage - but not

unbreakabie. Pointed and hard objects

faiiing on the cooking area may damage it.
