Note: All copper pans are excellent conductors of heat, and are hard
wearing and strong, but need quite a lot of care.They can be very heavy and
do not usually have completely flat bases.The interiors are usually lined with
a different material such as tin.
A stainless steel pan with a sandwich base of aluminium and stainless steel
is an excellent conductor of heat and is suitable for use on ceramic and halo-
gen hobs,providing they are used in accordance with the saucepans manu-
facturers’recommendations.
Stainless steel pans with a sandwich base of aluminium and copper are
excellent conductors of heat. If using stainless steel saucepans with
aluminium and copper sandwich bases on ceramic and halogen hobs,the use
of these pans must be in accordance with the saucepan manufacturers’
recommendations.Extra care should be taken to ensure the base of the pan
and the hob is cleaned, and the hob conditioned, after each and every
use,when using this type of saucepan.
If these recommendations are not followed, the result will be a build up of
small copper deposits on the surface of your hob which, if not cleaned after
each use,will result in permanent marking of your hob.
Always lift the pan from the hob,do not drag or slide across the hob surface
as damage may occur.
