For best cooking results and energy saving, only use containers suitable for
electric cooking:
- The bases of containers must be very thick, perfectly flat, clean and dry. The
hob must also be clean and dry.
- Do not use cast iron saucepans or saucepans with a rough base, as they
may scratch the cooking surface.
The diameter of the base of the saucepans must be equal to the diameter of the
circle outlining the cooking zone. If not, energy will be wasted.
