Tables and Tips
Pans
The better the pan, the better the results.
You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be thick and
as flat as possible.
Pans with aluminium or copper bases can leave metal discoloration on the
glass ceramic surface that is very difficult or impossible to remove.
Do not use cast iron pans or pans with damaged bases that are rough or
burred. Permanent scratching may occur when the pans are slid.
When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inĆ
wards (concave). They should under no circumstances
be bowed outwards (convex).
Tips on Saving Energy
You will save valuable energy if you observe the following tips:
Always place pans on the cooking zone before
switching on.
Soiled cooking zones and pan bases increase
the electricity consumption.
If possible, always fit pans with a lid.
Switch off the cooking zones before the end of
cooking to make use of the residual heat, e.g. to
keep food warm or for melting.
The pan base and cooking zone should be the
same size. When purchasing pans, pay attention
to the diameter of the base. Manufacturers ofĆ
ten state the diameter of the top of the pan.
Cooking times are reduced by up to 50% when
a pressure cooker is used.
