or taper can be used to light the burner.
Energy Saving
• Position pans centrally over the ele-
ments.
• Only heat the amount of liquid you
need.
• Once liquids have been brought to
the boil, reduce the heat setting to a
simmer.
• Consider using a pressure cooker if
possible.
• Vegetables cut into small pieces will
cook more quickly.
• Use a pan which is a close match to
your burner size.
• Smaller burners are ideal for sim-
mering and stewing in smaller pans,
while the larger burners are ideal for
frying and boiling.
