Hints and Tips
Saucepans for use on solid hotplates should have
several characteristics:
• They should be fairly heavy duty.
• They should fit the heat area exactly, or be
slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.
• They should have a flat base to ensure good
contact with the hotplate. This is particularty
important when using pans for high
temperature frying presure cooking.
As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn the hotplate
control knob so that it will barely keep the liqiud
simmering.
You can switch off the hotplate a short while
before you finish cooking, and the final stage will
be completed using the accumulated heat.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid
liquids being spilt onto the plates. Never
leave the plates on without a pan on
them or with an empty pan on them.
Take care never to lean or reach over a
hot electric plate. Always point pan
handles inward or over the work surface
next to the hob to avoid accidentally
knocking over a pan as you pass by.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or
fat, as the overheated splashes could
easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to
turn, please contact your local Service
Force Centre.
