General -— the correct pans
Good pans for better results
1 For best results use good quality pans with smooth flat bases.
Li The pan base should be thick and flat. Pans with uneven, distorted or rough bases (e.g.,
cast iron) should not be used as they extend the cooking times and may cause damage
to the cooking plates.
LI Cooking plates and pan base should be of the same or similar diameter. The pan should
be placed centrally on the cooking plate.
C1 Cooking plates and pan base must be clean to prevent damage to the hob and waste of
energy.
LI Shiny and copper based pans are unsuitable for use on halogen cooking plates. These
pans may also damage the decor on normal ceramic hobs so do avoid using such pans
onaceramic hob. Copper base saucepans are also unsuitable, they will damage the hob
surface.
LI Follow the recommendations of the saucepan manufacturer.
Make use of the residual heat — switch the plates off 5-10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time.
You are wasting energy and prolonging the cooking times if:
