Most suitable
The best pans for use on a ceramic hob are those with a
thick base which is very slightly concave when cold. When
heated, the base flattens to rest evenly on the hob,
optimising the conduction of the heat.

Less suitable
Pans made of glass, ceramic or stoneware are less
suitable, as they do not conduct the heat so well.
– Not suitable
Dishes or containers made from plastic or aluminium foil
must not be used as these melt at high temperatures.
– Aluminium pans or pans with an aluminium base can
cause metallic, shiny marks to appear on the ceramic
surface. These marks can be removed using a ceramic
and stainless steel hob cleaner (see "Cleaning and care").
– Do not use pots and pans on the ceramic hob with bases
with pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans.
These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently.
–
Lift pans into position on the hob. Sliding them into place
can cause scuffs and scratches.
–
Often the maximum diameter quoted by manufacturers
refers to the diameter of the top rim of the pot or pan. The
diameter of the base (generally smaller) is more important.
