Using your ceramic glass cooktop
Cookware tips
Cooking results are influenced by pot quality and size. It is essential for the base of the pot to be
smooth and sit flat against the glass. Also, pot size should match the diameter of the element.
Poor performance is often due to inadequate contact with the glass.
Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enamelled cast iron will give you the best
results.
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the cooktop.
Aluminium and copper-bottomed cookware can leave a metallic residue on the cooktop. If left,
this becomes difficult to remove. Clean the cooktop after every use.
Do not use saucepans or frying pans with jagged edges, as these may scratch the cooktop.
Round-based woks should NOT be used on the elements without a wok stand, as they are
unstable and may also damage the cooktop.
Always lift pots and pans off ceramic cooktops – do not slide, as doing so can scratch the glass.
Never cook the food directly on the ceramic glass.
Energy saving tips
Use an element that matches the size of the cookware.
Place cookware on the element before turning it on.
Always use a lid to retain the heat and reduce cooking times.
Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
Use residual heat retained in the glass after the element is turned off to continue the cooking
process or to keep foods warm.
