Pans
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 ceramic glass surface, which is very difficult or impossible to
remove.
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 normal-
ly bowed slightly inwards (con-
cave). They should never be
bowed outwards (convex).
If you wish to use special types of
pan (e.g. a pressure cooker, sim-
mering pan, wok, etc.), please ob-
serve the manufacturer's instructions.
2 Energy saving tips
Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone.
Whenever possible always posi-
tion the lids firmly on pots and
pans to cover completely.
Switch off the cooking zones be-
fore the end of the cooking time
to use the residual heat such as to
keep foods warm or for melting.
The base of the pan should be the
same size as the cooking zone.
